This describes the forces motivating use of Web in MetaComputing
First the need for a pervasive technology base for HPCC which is otherwise a nonviable niche market.
The growing number of Web-enabled machines and the development of WebWindows giving the productivity tools needed for a true distributed HPCC software engineering environment
We describe the 3 layer model of WebWork
At the high end we describe our early example -- WebFlow and how this can be extended to a full WebHPL with mixed interpreted and compiled systems.
At the base level, we have the World-Wide Virtual Machine as a mesh of computationally extended web servers
At the Intermediate level, we propose WebScript to integrate VRML, PERL5 Java and similar domain specific scripting systems
