The opportunities for computing on the Web have been noted as far back as 1997.[1] It didn't take long before Web Computing was understood specifically as computation distributed to web clients.[2] Modern exploits of this concept are generally focused on the Web Browser as the ultimate web client, and span from distributing computing to web workers as illustrated by CrowdProcess, to full use of the Web Browser's stack in QMachine,[3] and includes the embedding of Web Applications as Semantic Hypermedia components.[4]
