This Small Business Innovation and Research Phase I project will design and develop an innovative technology that enables those at the edge of the Internet to easily and efficiently become Web publishers. The solution is a compatible enhancement to the existing Web that counters the notion that all Web content be published in a hub and spoke fashion from central servers. The primary distinction between Web server and client thus becomes one of chosen roles, not physical location in a fixed topology. The project addresses the special needs of lightweight Web publishing, including intermittent connections (dial-up and wireless), location independence (roaming, dynamic DNS/IP address), modest resources (handheld devices), and limited bandwidth. The solution builds upon Creare's RBNB DataTurbine middleware, which provides asynchronous access to cached sequential information, a proven technology for peer-to-peer data distribution at educational and government research facilities. The project adapts and applies RBNB as a Web solution (WebTurbine), and, in Phase I, will demonstrate it by establishing a wireless Web publisher and publishing live video images to the Internet (viewable by our NSF sponsors). Commercialization Prospects: Millions of new publishers, now inhibited by cost and technical hurdles, will publish to the Internet. The unique capabilities of RBNB will enable the scientific and educational community to collaborate in a manner far more time-sensitive and flexible than is now possible. Our solution creates new commercial opportunities for seamless streaming media, a new approach to virtual private networks, and a micro payment pay-per-transaction model.

这个小型企业创新和研究阶段I项目将设计和开发一种创新技术，使互联网边缘的人们轻松有效地成为网络发布者。该解决方案是与现有Web的兼容增强，它反驳了所有Web内容都以枢纽发布并从中央服务器发表时尚的概念。因此，Web服务器和客户端之间的主要区别成为选择的角色之一，而不是固定拓扑中的物理位置。该项目解决了轻型网络发布的特殊需求，包括间歇连接（拨号和无线），位置独立性（漫游，动态DNS/IP地址），适度的资源（手持设备）和有限的带宽。该解决方案建立在Creare的RBNB Dataturbine中间件的基础上，该中间件提供了对可控顺序信息的异步​​访问，这是一种在教育和政府研究设施中对点对点数据分配的经过验证的技术。该项目适应RBNB作为Web解决方案（WebTurbine），在第一阶段，将通过建立无线网络发布者并将实时视频图像发布到Internet（我们的NSF赞助商可查看）来证明它。商业化的前景：数百万的新出版商，如今已被成本和技术障碍所抑制，将发布到互联网上。 RBNB的独特功能将使科学和教育社区能够以比现在可能更敏感和灵活的方式进行合作。我们的解决方案为无缝流媒体，虚拟专用网络的新方法和每笔交易付款模型创造了新的商业机会。
