題名 Improving the Deployability of Existing Windows-Based Client/Server Business Information Systems Using ActiveX 作者 裘錦天;程裕繁
Cheng,Bill Yu-Fan;Chyou,Jonathan Jiin-Tian日期 2006-12 上傳時間 17-Jan-2009 16:06:51 (UTC+8) 摘要 Today, increasingly large and complex business information systems (BISs) are being built as client/server (C/S) applications. Unfortunately, for the most common C/S BISs, that is, the Windows-based C/S BISs (WinBISs), client programs must be manually deployed to each end-user machine bringing about a heavy BIS maintenance load. ActiveX, if used properly, is more cost- effective than alternatives in improving the deployment of existing WinBISs. Yet, ActiveX has three shortcomings, namely insecurity, complexity, and bulkiness. The purpose of this paper is to overcome the shortcomings of ActiveX, and then develop an ActiveX-based solution to automate the deployment of existing WinBISs. We first propose a downloadable architecture, which supports the development of automatically-deployed BISs. Then we propose an architecture transformation process, which transforms existing WinBISs into the downloadable architecture. Additionally, we show an example of how to use the downloadable architecture and the architecture transformation process. The example also provides evidence to support the feasibility of such architecture and process. 關聯 Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series, 4317, 249-263 資料類型 article dc.creator (作者) 裘錦天;程裕繁 zh_TW dc.creator (作者) Cheng,Bill Yu-Fan;Chyou,Jonathan Jiin-Tian - dc.date (日期) 2006-12 en_US dc.date.accessioned 17-Jan-2009 16:06:51 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 17-Jan-2009 16:06:51 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 17-Jan-2009 16:06:51 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) https://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/27062 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Today, increasingly large and complex business information systems (BISs) are being built as client/server (C/S) applications.
