The revolution in web world led to
increasing users’ needs, demands and expectations.
By the time, those needs developed starting from
ordinary static pages, moving on to fully dynamic
ones and reaching the need for services and
applications to be available on the web!.. Those
demands changed the perspective of our web today to
what’s said to be a cloud of computing that aims
mainly to provide applications as services for web
user. As time goes by, applications were just not
enough; users needed their applications and data
available anytime, anywhere. For these reasons,
traditional operating system functionality was needed
to be provided as a service that integrates several
applications together with user’s data.
In this paper we present the detailed description,
implementation and evaluation of SEWOS [1]- a
semantically enhanced web operating system- that
provides the feel, look and mimic traditional desktop
applications using desktop metaphor. |
