Abstract

We discuss various ways in which the World Wide Web can be used to improve algebraic computation research and development. In particular, dynamic updating of programs becomes possible, enabling geographically distributed researchers to use the same version of a program. This can be accomplished by using platform-independent pseudocode for execution. We also consider other ways in which the Web can improve collaboration in this area.
