19/4613 Hyper-G as a standalone server
Steven Mitter
In June 1995, the ED-MEDIA 95 conference took place in Graz, Austria. A few months earlier the decision was made to publish the proceedings not only as a book but also on a CD-ROM. The system of choice for this task was Hyper-G. This CD-ROM was the motivation for the development of what is now called the standalone server. The goal was to have a software package to view Hyper-G data without the need for a connection to a Hyper-G\ server. In the second stage, the ability to edit documents offline was also implemented. It turns out that the standalone server can be used for a variety of important functions: to act as software for viewing Hyper-G data on a CD-ROM, as a basis for integrating local and remote functions and as an editing device, just to name the most important ones.
