Application on demand system over the Internet ?
This paper describes the design and implementation of the ASP-NG system. The main modules of the ASP-NG system are the AoD service and the Web Portal. The ASP-NG Portal is a portal for providing the user with the necessary interface in order to access an Application on Demand (AoD) service. The ASP-NG portal is responsible for the interaction with the user of the AoD service. Using the AoD service the user rents an application for a limited time period at a fraction of the actual cost of the application. The AoD service is responsible for downloading the appropriate parts of the application according to the user's actions, while enforcing the mutually agreed frame between the user and the Application Service Provider (ASP). The implementation of the ASP-NG portal is based on the Web Services of the Java 2, Enterprise Edition platform and the implementation of the AoD module is based on C++programming language. The ASP-NG portal offers to its users the capability to select and customize the language of the user interface in order to present information in their preferred language. Moreover the ASP-NG portal offers to the portal administrator the capability to customise the look and feel of the ASP-NG portal.
