Thin clients via shadow objects

In this paper, an approach of distributed presentation architecture of thin client computing has been proposed. This approach tries to achieve its goal via object reconstruction. Each widget will have two instances, one is its shadow on the server side, which does not have any graphical presentation and the other is on the client side with full graphical representation. This approach tries to combine two other traditional approaches, one is web-based approach and the other is remote frame buffer approach. In our proposed approach, it is expected that the network traffic will be less than the remote frame buffer approach but higher than the web-based approach. For small wireless devices, this approach may be considered as a viable solution to thin client computing.
