"Web 2.0 - Technology and Possibilities"

The last decade have showed that social networks have evolved to
a global space, where people exchange experience and information
on a daily bases. The technology behind the web interfaces allowed
users to create, update and manage the contents of sites emerging
new ways to build collaboration spaces.
Further improvements brought innovative means to interactively
react to user actions during an execution of distributed applications.
In addition, ease of use and accessibility as well as many reliable
standards make the web a strong candidate for the realization of
a front-end graphical user interface.

The talk will give an overview of the technologies which are
currently available to web developers, including XHTML, SOAP, AJAX,
XUL and RDF. Next, a few use cases presenting requirements from the
point of view of Grid application users will be discussed. Among
others, a use case of application execution together with data
management will be discussed as an example of interactive
communication with the end users.

The last part of the talk will show an example of a framework
that tries to fulfill the demands raised by the use cases
and it will present the use of the technologies described in the
first part of the talk.
