Haupt, T., Akarsu, E., & Fox, G. (2000). WebFlow: a Framework for Web Based Metacomputing. Future Generation Computer Systems. Elsevier. 16(5), 445-451.

We developed a platform independent, three-tier system, called WebFlow. The visual authoring tools implemented in the front end integrated with the middle-tier network of servers based on CORBA and following distributed object paradigm, facilitate seamless integration of commodity software components. We add high performance to commodity systems using Globus metacomputing toolkit as the backend.
