With the smarts on both sides of the connection the communication between the two to be much more intelligent. Traditional distributed computing applications are complicated and expensive to produce and deploy. Lightweight distributed computing changes that. LDC applications are cheaper, smaller, and more maintainable than those created with traditional heavyweight systems. LDC allows network applications to be created in days, rather than months.
Applications are rich and interactive because they run at the speed of the local device.
Easier to create . Network distributed applications don't need to cost a fortune to create and maintain. A common inter-communications model . Reduces server load by 10 to 50 times . Because servers no longer need to do all the processing for all clients.
