Internet Applications

Advanced Internet development encompasses the design and implementation of sophisticated distributed systems. Internet systems generally embody multiple, interoperable applications distributed across multiple computers and disparate environments. These typically incorporate elements from several technical areas and may include a relational database subsystem, text sifting and sorting technologies (natural language processing), data encryption, dynamic Web page generation, and firewalling. ReQuest offers a staff of experienced software developers accustomed to developing all aspects of an integrated software system.

Application Areas

  • Virtual libraries spanning multiple sites.
  • Conferencing, using audiovisual tools, including shared video and audio streams, whiteboards and shared documents.
  • Multimedia data archives storing imagery, audio, textual, radar and other binary data.
  • Data mining tools such as surveys and automated search technologies.
  • Push technologies, including automation of email and FTP transmissions based on database queries or system events.

ReQuest, in partnership with other companies and federal agencies, has participated in the development of several large-scale virtual library systems, some of which are deployed today. In addition, ReQuest personnel have worked on diverse Internet applications including conferencing tools, database query push applications, and interactive Web-based questionnaires.
