Motivation: Developing a global distributed hypermedia system. o Started 1989 by a research paper issued by Tim Berners-Lee who worked at the CERN. o 1993: First usable browser (MOSAIC) issued. o 1994: Foundation of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). o W3C then started developing HTML, HTTP and Style Sheets.

Systems on the Internet are modeled and realized in a way that allows for equal access to local and remote resources. Examples o Network File System (NFS) o X-Window System o Web - Protocol (HTTP) Abstracting from a net topology

In the client / server model, all resources are held by servers. Clients issue requests whenever they need to access one of the resources [CDK95]. Examples o A web server (HTTP daemon, http) manages a collection of web (HTML) pages o A web client (HTTP client, a web browser) requests web pages.

A server acts as a resource manager for a collection of resources of a given type [CDK95].
A client performs a task that requires access to to some shared hardware and software resources [CDK95].

The Internet is the entirety of all connected computers that use the package of internet protocols at their network systems‘ topmost layer. The collection of internet protocols implements a packet-oriented Wide Area Network for connecting networks of diverse protocols and different connection characteristics. The World Wide Web (WWW) is a distributed hypermedia system that relies on some of the internet‘s services. Most important are the naming service provided by the Domain Nam Service (DNS) and the - quite - reliable connection-oriented transmission service provided by the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) [Wilde99].
