Abstract :
The Web is advancing toward essentially a social network that transforms the Internet into a locus for all things social-data and applications. The Web is becoming a platform where people work, interact, share, and collaborate beyond the reach of office and desktop applications. This trend demands innovative technologies and applications that support people to work and collaborate seamlessly in both single-user desktop and multiuser Web environments. Such technologies make desktop applications Web-aware in that they can talk to Web servers using standard Web protocols
