Foil 17 WebWork -- Collaboration with BU and CSC

From Overview of WebWindows March 95 CRPC Annual Meeting Houston -- March 21-24,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

We recently proposed WebWork as Integrated Programming Environment Tools for National and Grand Challenges.
The project addresses software development process for Integrated Challenges -- a merge of Grand and National Challenges in domains such as healthcare or manufacturing that pose metaproblems hosted on world-wide metacomputers and linking all three aspects: simulation, information processing and collaboration.
WebWork considers the world-wide metacomputer as a set of future generation WWW servers, locally/internally implemented in terms of suitable HPCC technologies (HPF, MPI, PVM, Fortran-M, pC++, CC++ etc.).
These servers play a dual role as a publishing medium of partial solutions (or unsolved problems) and as nodes of the World-Wide Virtual Machine (WWVM) -- an agents interconnected based implementation of a world-wide metacomputer.
The WebWork project will develop CASE tools for the WWVM in a bootstrap fashion, starting from our current WebTools.
