A WWW Collaboration System
Keiron Skillett, BEng Project 2000

 

Conclusions

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.
