From Web Application and Services Overview as of June96 NASA ICASE Tutorial -- June 10-13 1996. by Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE
For instance as part of my New York State Industrial HPCC outreach program InfoMall, I found that a major manufacturer of large consumer machines had no interest in MPP's for simulating them to improve design
However very interested in
  • Storing product information in a Web Interfaced databases
  • Using applets to allow their distributors to download programs to client PC's and simulate installation and use in home/business
Here Perl manipulates text from database to HTML
Java enables down-loaded simulations
VRML enables universal definition of 3D objects -- products and buildings
