| The resulting third generation phase transition expected soon on the Internet will create new markets for HPCC to provide real-time distributed simulations for the NII |
| Anticipating these events, we pursue a Web software development effort at NPAC that develops dynamic WebTools for interactive content management, authoring and navigation. |
| NPAC WebTools can be viewed as seeds towards WebWindows. Based on our early involvement, we expect to position NPAC as one of the focal and coordination sites in the WebWindows development process. |
| Current WebTools (discussed below and demonstrated in the poster/demo session) are based on pervasive/vanilla Internet technologies: Forms based GUIs at the browser side, CGI/Perl based server side databases and computation. |
| We now start integrating these base WebTools with NPAC HPCC technologies (HPF, parallel Oracle, ATM, ISDN) towards WebWindows based high quality NII services. |
