Thin Clients White Papers
A Graphical User Interface Toolkit Approach to Thin-Client Computing
Overview Implementers of network-centric applications typically rely on the limited capabilities of HTML, employing proprietary "plug ins" or transmitting the binary image of an entire application that will be executed on the client. Alternatively, implementers can develop without regard for remote use, requiring users who wish to run such applications on a remote server to rely on a system that creates a virtual frame buffer on the server, and transmits a copy of its raster image to the local client. This paper reviews some of the problems that these current approaches pose, and shows how they can be solved by developing a distributed user interface toolkit.
