Webcom :A W Eb Based Distributed Computation Platform
John P. M. Orrison, David Power, Ames J. Kennedy · 2008
The propagation of the World Wide Web into everyday use, coupled with Java technologies, provide a foundation upon which a distributed computing environment can easily be constructed. The WebCom system presented in this paper represents an attempt at implementing one such environment. The system operates by distributing ’instructions ’ to client machines for execution. These instructions are created using an inherently parallel model of computation capable of utilising data-driven, demand-driven and imperative computations.
