ABSTRACTHistorical: The Loci (and later Piper) project was designed to be a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed workflow system. It was an independent, GNU-based project intended to bring the power and flexibility of the GNU/UNIX command-line interface (CLI) to the graphical user interface (GUI) and Internet-distributed computing. Networks, programs, files, widgets, and so on, could be Internet-distributed components represented in a GUI as the nodes of a flow chart. The user could join nodes via lines that depict links for data flow, procedural steps, relationships, and so forth. Click here for a discussion on how Loci/Piper made "a better UNIX GUI". This project has evolved into the Pipet project, but these pages may remain here for historical purposes. |
