  1. Distributed Information System: Challenges and Design Issues Question II Web Desktop 報告人：陳鈞興 2008/04/03

  2. Question 2 • Computational load in the client-server model has been shifted back and forth between servers and clients. • In the mainframe age, computation is done mainly in the server side. • Then, it shifts to the client side to ease the server load. • Now there is an increasing trend to put computation back to the servers by running applications from the servers. Google in fact has developed several web-based application. • One thing related to this trend is “Web Desktop” • a virtual desktop that integrates web-based applications from different vendors into your desktop. • Products like Desktop Two, YouOS are some leading examples. Google’s i-Google can also be classified into the category. • Give a short introduction of web desktops and and outlook of them

  4. Web Desktop – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • A web desktop or webtop is a network application system for integrating web applications into a web-based workspace. • It is a virtual desktop on the web, running in a web browser as software. • Web desktops often are characterized by an environment similar to that of Windows, Mac, or Linux, but are now considered to have much more functionality being dependent on the internet. • Typical benefits include the ability to save work and settings over the internet rather than to the local desktop.

  5. Web Desktop • Webtop最早由Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) 於1993 在SCO UNIX的web-based 界面 • Andy Bovingdon and Ronald Joe Record, who both explored the concepts in different directions, are often credited as the inventors.

  6. Webtop vs.desktop • 優點 • 方便：只要有簡單的瀏覽器就可以 • 簡單軟體管理： • 都是用最新的軟體 • 不需要安裝/更新patch • 不需要安裝軟體(no need to distribute software over the network) • 其他優點 • 最小的硬體需求 • 高的安全等級(如果使用https) • 較少的downtime (管一個系統比20個系統容易)

  7. Webtop vs.desktop • 缺點 • 安全性：所有的資料都是在internet上傳輸，容易遭到駭客攻擊 • 需要高速的internet：使用web-based desktop，所有的code及視覺化的(.js/.css files, Flash player files等等)需要被傳輸到local • Web OS可能是"inherently an inadequate application development platform."
