Towards Wide-Area Distributed Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use our implementation of a distributed interface for digital libraries to explain several design alternatives for distributed Web applications. Our focus is on an analysis of how functionality should be distributed between clients and servers. Based on our prototype and related performance results, we conclude that it is useful to move some user interface related functionality from server to client, but that the bulk of functionality can and should remain with the UI server.

Towards Object-based Wide Area Distributed Systems
In order to facilitate the construction of wide area distributed systems, it is necessary that we adopt a model that simplifies application development. In this position paper we advocate an object-based approach. Our approach allows for flexibility because many of the technical details of distribution, such as communication protocols, consistency rules, etc. can be hidden behind the objects’ i...
متن کاملOpenSound Control: State of the Art 2003
OpenSound Control (“OSC”) is a protocol for communication among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is optimized for modern networking technology. OSC has achieved wide use in the field of computer-based new interfaces for musical expression for wide-area and local-area networked distributed music systems, inter-process communication, and even within a single applic...
متن کاملTechniques for Supporting Wide Area Distributed Applications
In this paper we present a number of techniques for supporting distributed applications that span many nodes across administrative boundaries in wide area internetworks. The techniques derive from experiences with research prototypes we have built in a variety of application areas. Several of the prototypes have achieved exceptionally far reaching distribution, operating in conjunction with mac...
متن کاملDesign Challenges for High-Performance Network Interfaces - Guest Editors' Introduction
42 Computer W ith the advent of distributed computing and the Internet, and with dramatically faster processor clock rates and complete systems on chips, computing is increasingly concerned with the efficient movement of data—across the interconnects within a machine, the system area network within a machine room, and the local area or wide area network. An increasingly critical issue in the de...
متن کاملDefining Distribution Constraints in Distributed User Interfaces
At present, the spread of hand held devices with growing computing power and functionality allows that different interaction elements can be distributed among a wide range of devices from different platforms, supporting interaction with one or many users. To take advantage of the benefits this kind of devices provides, traditional user interfaces have been evolving towards distributed user ones...
