From Possible Roles of new Web technologies in the NHSE NHSE Review -- 25 January 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

This has several obvious near term applications including
  • Downloading software for demonstrations or general client side computing
  • Use of Java to animate the display of performance visualization data -- we should integrate with Pablo and similar technologies
  • Use of Java to produce visualizations of data movement in algorithms such as matrix and particle dynamics -- Brown University initially demonstrated in sorting
The above examples are quite interesting reasons for introduction of electronic journals as you should be able to explain complex ideas better this way
Note Web was initially book/libraries done digitally. Now we are the second wave of opportunities exploiting the specific advantages of distributed computing backbone
We can use Java as both backend and frontend of visual Web computing environments (WebFlow) extending AVS and Khoros. These would naturallu use the NHSE as source of the software
