             Computing on the Net or: Computer Algebra goes Java

     The internet is a huge potential resource of computing power. In this
     talk we will discuss ways to open up this resource to computer algebra
     applications. In particular we will present a computer algebra system
     whose kernel is implemented in Java. This allows it to be incorporated
     into a web page, inviting internet users all around the world to
     contribute CPU cycles to a massive computation.
