IMPLEMENTATION STATUS:

PLATFORMS:

Web-Hermes exists primarily on the Unix/X-Windows platform;  Experimental versions exist for the PC/Windows environment as well..

DISTRIBUTED IMPLEMENTATION:

A current client-server based Hermes implementation accesses nine data sites,  worldwide, across the Internet (new site integration requires roughly 30 minutes). Participating test sites include the following:
 
• USA:
• Univ. of Maryland
• Cornell University
• Brown University
• Bucknell University
• TEC - U.S. Army Topographic and Engineering Center
 
• Europe:
• Univ. of Calabria, Italy
• Technische-Universitat Wien, Austria
• University of Aachen, Germany
 
• Elsewhere:
• Univ. of New South Wales, Australia

INTEGRATED PACKAGES:

• DBMSs:
• Ingres
• Paradox
• dBase
• Oracle
 
• AI systems:
• Feature-based Face Recognition Package
• US Army Free Terrain Route Planner
 
• Miscellaneous. software:
• AVIS (Advanced Video Information System)
• MACS (Media Abstraction Creation System)
• text database (newswires)
• spatial database (PR-quadtrees)
• Unix (bc, calc, ls, grep, xmosaic, xedit, etc.)
• Math (elementary math operations)
• Simulated airline reservation system.
 
Package (domain) integration requires approximately 1-2 weeks of a full-time programmer;  This, however, depends greatly on the existing target package (domain) interface.
