| We identified three main integration concepts: Two technology components: WebFlow, WebTool(kit)s and applications viewed as WebTop Systems. |
| WebFlow - Web based dataflow infrastructure. Web is viewed as a collection of computation capable servers, with each server managing a collection of modules, connected by dataflow channels. |
| WebTool(kit)s - reusable compute-webs, packaged/maintained as composite modules, and used for quick assembly of distributed applications. |
| WebTop Systems - distributed applications, constructed as compute-webs of webtools modules. RL CIV will protoype WebFlow in the integration technologies sector, package component technologies as WebTools, and use for integrating four selected applications as WebTops. |
