چکیده

We present here the recent work at NPAC aimed at developing WebFlow|a general purpose Web based visual interactive programming environment for coarse grain distributed computing. We follow the 3-tier architecture with the central control and integration We-bVM layer in tier-2, interacting with the visual graph editor applets in tier-1 (front-end) and the legacy systems in tier-3. WebVM is given by a mesh of Java Web servers such as Jeeves from JavaSoft or Jigsaw from MIT/W3C. All system control structures are implemented as URL-addressable servlets which enable Web browser-based authoring, monitoring, publication , documentation and software distribution tools for distributed computing. We view WebFlow/WEbVM as a promising programming paradigm and coordination model for the exploding volume of Web/Java software, and we illustrate it in a set of ongoing application development activities.

WebFlow: A Framework for Web Based Metacomputing

We developed a platform independent, three-tier system, called WebFlow. The visual authoring tools implemented in the front end integrated with the middle tier network of servers based on CORBA and following distributed object paradigm, facilitate seamless integration of commodity software components. We add high performance to commodity systems using GLOBUS metacomputing toolkit as the backend.

Distributed Systems on the Pragmatic Object Web - Computing with Java and CORBA

We review the growing power and capability of commodity computing and communication technologies largely driven by commercial distributed information systems. These systems are built from CORBA, Microsoft's COM, JavaBeans, and rapidly advancing Web approaches. One can abstract these to a three-tier model with largely independent clients connected to a distributed network of servers. The latter ...

Java/CORBA based Real-Time Infrastructure to Integrate Event-Driven Simulations, Collaboration and Distributed Object/Componentware Computing

We are discussing the four major standard candidates for distributed object/componentware computing: Java, CORBA, COM and WOM within our proposed coordination framework we call Pragmatic Object Web (POW). We describe our integration approach based on multi-protocol middleware server JWORB (Java Web Object Request Broker) that currently integrates HTTP and IIOP and which we now further develop t...

A WebFlow Application

This report describes a pilot Web-based implementation of the Landscape Management System (LMS). The Web-based implementation extends the Watershed Modeling System by adding the capability to download the input data directly from remote data repositories (such as Internet repositories and distributed databases), and to execute the simulation codes on a remote high-performance host. This makes i...

Using Java for the Coordination of Workflows in the World Wide Web

In this paper we introduce a workflow management system, called WebFlow, which is based on the world wide web and Java as its basic technologies. Java is used as the build time (modeling) language to define workflows as well as the implementation language for the run time workflow enactment. Due to the object-orientation of Java modular and extendible workflow types are possible. Modification o...
