Abstract:
Among the architectural organizations for server, client, or hybrid confi gurations that can be adopted for application designs, newer cloud-based designs have been adopting a predominantly server based approach in the recent years. Though this approach correctly assumes that the fantastic improvements in server capacity in terms of memory, processing, and bandwidth, it also completely ignores the massive capacity and scalability of client machines in satisfying user needs. The traditional client architectures use the binary capability of the client, which is generally not oriented towards the web. The extensive dynamic capabilities of the browser allow for platforms of infi nite extensibility and omni-functional power to be delivered via the net. This paper considers the adoption of intelligent immersive omni-functional technology with special focus on calculations towards creating standards-compliant documents that can be intermingled with semantic web structures. The paper documents experiences with such developments, and the implications in adopting such technology as a standard aspect of web-pages.
