The Internet is the world-wide communication network, also known as
information
highway
and
Datenautobahn.
SECURITY ADVICE: The databases and database engines of the Internet do not run under the
control of
the local administration. Access to these data or programs might result
in answers
which are potentially not matching the quality constraints applied usually.
NO PROPRIETARY DATA MUST BE EXPORTED TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT PRIOR CLEARANCE BY
AUTHORITIES.
This is true in
particular for industrial and other non-academic sites.
Each computer has its own number and name on the Internet. If you are
living in a closed
environment, your connection to the Internet will
be via a
gateway or so-called "firewall". To protect
your data from losses, and avoid that undesired
guests get into your system, the
use of Internet programs or Internet in general might be disabled
or restricted at
your site.
Do not mix up the Internet protocols with the Internet itself. The
'telnet'
, World-Wide Web and 'ftp' programs are so-called
protocols
which will work regardless of your Internet connection. These protocols are used
to
connect computers using a "language", and will also work locally on the
local area network.
HASSLE is the name of a network protocol software which allows
applications to be run remotely.
Its current application is in the
biological area. The current version number is 5, and was
written
by F.Eggenberger, R.Doelz and N.Redaschi.
As HASSLE is a protocol application, suitable
input must be
provided by other programs. The current area of application is
focussed on Biology.
In order to either integrate HASSLE into an
existing program environment (e.g., the GCG environment
(see
below)), or to prepare input data from scratch, dedicated applications
are provided which
are either programs or scripts and similar
procedures. More recently, the
SRS program suite
was added to HASSLE by Michael Schmitz
