The World Wide Web Collaboration System meets
almost all of the objectives set in the Project Proposal (Appendix A) and
with a little more work to remove any remaining bugs the system could meet
all of its objectives, including the file area and conflict checking in the
calendar.
This project has highlighted the power of
Java as a new and rapidly developing programming language, with many useful
features for programming for the Internet. As Java grows it will probably
become used as much on the World Wide Web as Hypertext Markup Language is
today. Java’s non-machine specific nature mean that thousands of users with
different types of machines can even access the same database, when a
three-tier structure is used with Remote Method Invocation.
This project has provided the basis for a
much larger and more powerful World Wide Web Collaboration System that could
eventually include video and sound.
The World Wide Web Collaboration System
project has been a success and could be continued further to provide even
better results. |
