SPINEware is presented as a practical and complete approach to metacomputing. It provides the middleware and tools that enable the dissimilar resources from an enterprise's computer network to be integrated into a metacomputer, which provides the end users with the look-and-feel of a single computer, and which may be operated through a user-oriented graphical user interface. Details resulting from remotely accessing the resources available from the network are hidden from the user. The metacomputer may be used as a general computing system, but may also be tailored for specific application areas and groups of users.
