Web computing framework

In this paper an approach to provide Web-based framework for distributed execution of collaborative applications is presented. The work is part of a wider on-going project whose aim is to make computing resources, both hardware and software, available to Web users. The core of the system is the Web computing skeleton constructed from prefabricated Web-enabled components with the ability to open and maintain Internet connections and provide collaboration over the World Wide Web. A number of examples illustrate how Web presentation can be enriched with collaborative software using the Web computing framework.
