Volunteer Computing with Java

• Very easy to use

  • “one-click computing”: go to web site; applet runs automatically
  • minimal setup & distribution effort
  • even NC and WebTV users can join

• Platform-independent

  • write once, run anywhere
  • easier for both programmers and volunteers

• Secure

  • Java sandbox prevents applets from touching users’ data
  • minimal security risk
