Abstract:
Presented is webComputing – a general framework of mathematically oriented services including
remote access to hardware and software resources for mathematical computations, and web interface to dynamic
interactive computations and visualization in a diversity of contexts: mathematical research and engineering,
computer-aided mathematical/technical education and distance learning. webComputing builds on the innovative
webMathematica technology connecting technical computing system Mathematica to a web server and providing
tools for building dynamic and interactive web-interface to Mathematica-based functionality. Discussed are the
conception and some of the major components of webComputing service: Scientific Visualization, Domain-
Specific Computations, Interactive Education, and Authoring of Interactive Pages.
