VNOS, Lone Wolf's Visual Network Operating System, is a personal computer operating environment that permits the construction of multi-dimensional interactive views of entities and their data on the massively extended parallel computing array known as the Internet. It achieves this via the implementation of a novel combination of several functional concepts:
• Graphical GUI Construction and Data Mirroring
• "Connect the Dots" Visual Programming
• Pervasive Object-Oriented Modelling
• Built-in Multi-lingual Scripting
• Run-time Extendable and Extensible
• Web-addressable Object Database
Various industry research pundits have described the next wave of the Internet as the X-Internet. . .a lattice or mesh of interconnected components/widgets which provide a dataflow system for the transfer, management, and control of information, automating the Internet beyond simple Web browsing. In this talk Mark Lacas will demonstrate the use of VNOS in this capacity.
