In particular, they have proven to be useful for the development of information systems in that such technologies have provided the software tools, libraries, and frameworks needed for implementing client and server applications.
Because of the choice to implement client-storage first, Gears would be framed as an offline application solution for the next year, which if not intentional, certainly served them well as competitors likely didn't notice the broader goal.
Likewise end-users applications that rely on NAT traversal techniques in order to implement client-to-client communications (e.g., peer-to-peer and VoIP) cannot survive the transition and are bounded to drop their active connections.
ClientLib, or just CNCLib, is a detached software component of SDDL that must be used to implement the mobile client applications.
To this end, CouchDB was used as the backend with a lightweight dynamic user interface implemented client-side as a one-page web application.
Similarly to key-value stores, any logic requiring relations must be implemented in the client application.
Any functionality requiring relations, structures, or both must be implemented in the client application interacting with the key-value store.
In particular, we decouple the renderer, which is implemented as a client application, from the user input application, which acts as a server.
Additionally, we implemented in our client application the "identity over length" sorting procedure to tackle the length dependency, an important task for transferring functional attributes.
We have implemented a thin client application design for ease of user interaction with our program, that is through a web application that could be accessed by any network-enabled device (PC's, PDA's or cell phones) with a web browser.
In client applications, Gaggle connectivity is often implemented through plug-in APIs, as it is in Cytoscape.
