A talk/demo by Christian Duncan
October 21st, 1997. Shaffer 3.
In this talk we present and (hopefully) demonstrate GeomNet, a system for performing distributed geometric computing over the Internet. The main goal of the system is facilitating software evaluation and adoption, as well as serving for many other purposes, through providing easy (Internet) access to a variety of complex geometric algorithms. We describe the architecture of GeomNet as a series of layers and discuss the connections between them. We also provide several examples of actual geometric algorithms that our system already supports. Application domains for GeomNet include collaborative research, distance education, and software marketing.
