Real Applications

On this page, I'll list places where PWS is really in use. If you have any that you'd like to share, please do drop me a line!

Sample Application of PWS/Embedded with FileDictionary

A system for authors to register papers for a conference, and for reviewers to enter in reviews. You can grab the whole thing at http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu/st/authors-reviewers.tar and http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu/st/authors-reviews.sea. (Note: You'll need FileDictionary: Tiny Squeak Database for this to work.)

http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/embedded/addPaper.html is where an author registers their paper.

http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/embedded/listPapers.html is where we get a list of all entered papers. (Could also be placed in the authorized folder)

AT THIS POINT, I would imagine that we log the papers, assign them tracking numbers (IDs), and mail the hardcopies to reviewers.

http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/embedded/review.html is where a reviewer enters a review.

http://guzdial.cc.gatech.edu:8080/embedded/listReviews.html is where we get the list of all reviews. (Again, easily protected.)

Swiki Test Site http://pbl.cc.gatech.edu:8080/myswiki is where I and others around Georgia Tech are playing with Swiki. Please stop by and try it out there!

EduTech Case Libraries

My biggest application of PWS so far is at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fac/mark.guzdial/cases/. This is a case library of educational technology projects at Georgia Tech. Some of the PWS features being used here:

All the Comment spaces are using PWS Comment.
On the front page and some of the others, I get a GIF with the status of Comment spaces.

The Table of Contents is an embedded page that queries the status of the Comment spaces.

<html><title>Comments Table Of Contents</title>
<body>
<h2>Comment Spaces Table of Contents</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="Comment.CaseLibrary">Comment Space on Case Library</a> <?(Comment comments at: 'CaseLibrary') status?>
<p>
<p><b>Issues</b><p>
<li><a href="Comment.Domain">Comment Space on Domain/Unit Issues</a> <?(Comment comments at: 'Domain') status?>
(And so on)
</ul>
</body>
</html>
