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
