The technological foundation of this integration is a CGI-extended Web server that combines quality electronic hypermedia publishing with HPCC computation. |
WebWork constructs that implement it are: WWVM discussed above, VSL (Virtual Software Laboratory) and HPFCL (HPF Coordination Language). |
WWVM is like a complete software environment, including hardware (Web+CGI servers), software (locally published modules) and documentation (conventional Web pages). |
VSL is a collection of Web CASE Tools to prototype WWVM components such as: standardized software publication interfaces; Perl5 class editors and browsers; and HPFCL language bindings. |
HPFCL allows to specify and run complete applications on the WWVM. We discuss HPFCL and its WebHPL extensions later on. But first we describe our first simple WWVM pilot project -- how to break security of Bank of England... |
