WebRes: Towards a Web Operating System

The success of the World Wide Web has broaden the way for general distributed computing using a large set of heterogeneous computers. Unfortunately the resources made available on the Web are almost information only and interaction between users is limited to a few special applications. A Web Operating System (WOS) [8] tries to provide solutions for this problem and generalizes the use of different resources on the Web.
