CompNet A project for the - IST-program
The CompNet Mission • CompNet will enable people to collaborate on problem solution and knowledge management in a globally networked environment.
Targets • End Users • People and organisations doing collaborative based on information exchange on the network • System Developers • Developers building applications for network based collaborative work • Project Partners
CompNet - Where, How • Environments for CompNet • Education • Learning Organisations • Virtual Campus, Networked Organisations • Teleworking • CompNet Platform • Open Standards, Internet Standards • CORBA
End user view • A networked collaborative environment • Knowledge database within • Tasks within • Information exchange with external • persons/groups • Knowledge sources • Internet
Special features - as seen from the end user • Open standards • CORBA - Internet standards • Services/client software components delivered on demand • Distributed objects, Mobile Agents. • Access control, authentication, security etc. delivered by platform • Fine grained access-control possible. • CORBA
Applicable user contexts • Open and Distant Learning • Networked virtual Universities • Learning organisations • Virtual organisations • Helpdesks • Software companies • Sales & Demonstration • Software support
Special features- as seen from the developers • Open Standards • CORBA - Internet Standards • Component based software construction • Reusable software components, object oriented design • for “framework” building • User interfaces and back-end modules • Based on a distributed platform • Utilisation of platform services • Security, name-services, licensing, distribution etc. • A report on experiences gained during the project
