We describe 3 major areas where Java (and other Web Technologies) can have significant impact |
1) Java can be used to build user Interfaces and here we describe the Virtual Programming Laboratory VPL |
2) Java can support coarse grain integration and metacomputing
|
3) Java as a traditional compiled language for computational kernels
