The remote desktop environment (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) is attracting interest as a way to strengthen security and support mobile access or telework. To realize the remote desktop environments, a remote desktop protocol is required to transfer information via a network about the user’s operations made on the keyboard and mouse on a terminal to the remote server. The growing popularity o...

Desktop Genetics is a bioinformatics company building a gene-editing platform for personalized medicine. The company works with scientists around the world to design and execute state-of-the-art clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) experiments.

Desktop grids are easy to install on large number of personal computers, which is a prerequisite for the spread of grid technology. Current desktop grids connect all PCs into a flat hierarchy, that is, all computers to a central server. SZTAKI Desktop Grid starts from a standalone desktop grid, as a building block. It is extended to include clusters as single powerful PCs, while using their loc...

The computer desktop environment, since its introduction in Xerox’s Star computer and popularization by Apple’s Macintosh computer [1], is the favorite general-purpose computer interface. The desktop provides graphical access to common utilities and important rudimentary tools for organizing the user’s work in windows. Linux distributions recognize the importance of the desktop and provide mult...

Over the last decade, personal desktops have faced the problem of information overload due to increasing computational power, easy access to the Web and cheap data storage. Moreover, an increasing number of diverse end-user desktop applications have led to the problem of information fragmentation. Each desktop application has its own data, unaware of related and relevant data in other applicati...
