10.5.5 Internet Collaboration and WWW

As pointed out in [Los96], the Internet  in its incarnation as World Wide Web  offers an attractive means of cooperation between designers and design groups at distant locations. The architecture of VISTA/SFC has taken into account many aspects prerequisite for interfacing with all kinds of clients, as the built-in GUI is completely independent of the rest of the framework, which can run as background process servicing requests from other processes. The implementation of network functions consistent with the overall architecture is currently being addressed.
