CRPC Annual Meeting WebWindows Presentation

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at CRPC Annual Meeting Houston on March 21-24,1995. Foils prepared March 22,1995

World Wide Web is now the most promising candidate for the universal access core component of the NII.
Current Web is ~15,000 servers and expands at the rate of ~1 new server / hour.
Software industry starts adding value (Netscape, Netsite, Mosaic licences, HotMetal, Netforce, Web support in OS/2 Warp and Windows95)
So far, Web was mainly used for static hypermedia such as local information pages, digital libraries, Internet directories etc. However, the WWW model offers also extension mechanisms (CGI, CCI) towards dynamic services and in fact arbitrary computation
Early interactive Web services start popping. Examples include: WebCalc (NASA Goddard), Easy HTML (NCSA), WebChat (Internet Society), Virtual Doors (Ubique, Inc.), Visioneering's Imaging Machine (VRL, Inc.)
