Architecture and programming paradigm for a scalable, metamorphic and cloud-collaborative user environment

A growing number of enterprise applications on the Internet ranging from banking transactions to business management make use of real-time collaboration. Simultaneous access from any device to any set of applications shared among many users is a hot area of research and development.;The new architecture supports unsolicited server control actions on the client using an event model to simulate interruptions and sustained user-activity during network failure. Results obtained validate the correctness of the approach and the feasibility of an extensible web-based platform for real-time collaboration.;This thesis designed a thick-client for real-time collaboration supporting the applications development and interoperability. It introduces a new programming paradigm, algorithms and protocols to bring real-time collaboration to a web-based platform. Its component-oriented metamorphic architecture supports a run-time scalable multi-desktop environment connecting client applications through automated remote procedure call and the object request broker pattern while providing new mechanisms for dynamic resource loading.
