2.1. Introduction
The aim of this work is to create a visualization environment that has three basic
features: it is Modular, it provides Remote Access, and it provides file sharing. A
Modular Visualization Environment is a working environment, where a user can
develop a scheme that consists of a set of modules that are connected to each other, in
order to complete his task. The term ‘Remote Access’ suggests that this environment
should be able to act as a server, which accepts orders from clients, who want to
create and compile their schemes. The environment itself can be distributed or
localized – that is not of our main concerns – and it should have access to the
network, because the clients may be located anywhere around the world. The term
‘Collaborative’ suggests that the users of this environment can have a direct or
indirect communication with each other, so that they can work together as a team, in
order to develop or to share their schemes.
