whitepaper Thin Client Operating System: eLux NG for FUTRO2006-08-01 Unicon Software
  eLux NG (eLux Next Generation) is a newly designed Linux-based embedded operating system, especially developed for FUTRO and SCOVERYs used as Thin Clients in server-based environments, thus taking advantage of the centralization in networks and the reduction of the Total Cost of Ownership for which Thin Clients are known. The eLuxNG software has consolidated the 3-year old eLux1.1 software to a flexible solution supporting more and more hardware platforms. This new flexibility is necessary to use the dynamics of the Open Source development for the evolution of Thin Client computing.

whitepaper How to Test the Performance of a Thin Client Terminal2006-07-02 AXEL
  This paper covers various considerations to be taken into account when testing thin client terminals. The aim of the paper is to cover comparing different competing terminals - not different protocols - ie not RDP vs. ICA. The purpose of a thin client is to display the graphics primitives sent from the server in a way the user finds comfortable to use.

whitepaper HP Thin Client Computing: A Financial Services Industry white paper2006-07-01 Hewlett-Packard (HP)
  Recent years have seen big changes in the financial services industry driven by a number of factors - customer demand for higher service levels, the impact of deregulation, changes in employment patterns, and the ever-increasing scrutiny for good governance amongst them. In turn, these factors have had a major impact on the performance requirements of the underpinning IT infrastructures. With HP thin client computing, the complexity of managing the desktop environment is greatly reduced by centralizing applications. Not only are costs reduced, but the resulting infrastructure becomes more resilient with higher availability, and is scalable to suit the business need. HP offers a proven methodology to help institutions move to thin client computing.

whitepaper An Instant Message-Driven User Interface Framework for Thin Client Applications2006-06-29 University of Leipzig
  Today, thin client applications often rely on the infrastructure of the WWW to deliver their User Interfaces (UIs) to clients. While this approach does not require the deployment of application logic on the client, web-based UIs typically do not provide the same level of usability as window-based UIs. The paper therefore presents a UI framework that combines the flexibility of a thin presentation logic with the usability of a full-featured UI: The approach uses an XMPP-based instant messaging infrastructure to exchange XUL interface descriptions and events between the application logic on the server and a generic UI rendering engine on the client.

whitepaper Bank Improves Customer Service Using Sun Ray Technology0000-00-00 Sun Microsystems
  Sparkasse Haslach-Zell is a savings bank headquartered in Zell, Germany. The bank has 11 branch offices, employs 230 people and manages EUR 900 million. The bank wanted to maximize effectiveness of bank consultants and improve customer service, minimize capital expenditures and operating costs and integrate and simplify IT administration for complex desktop environment. The bank upgraded its customer relationship systems to Sun Ray ultra-thin clients, Sun x64 servers and the Java Desktop System. Using the smart card, SHZ employees can log onto any available Sun Ray client with a single sign-on.

whitepaper A Hybrid Thin-Client Protocol for Multimedia Streaming and Interactive Gaming Applications2006-04-24 Association for Computing Machinery
  Despite the growing popularity and advantages of thin-client systems, they still have some important shortcomings. Current thin-client systems are ideally suited to be used with classic office-applications but as soon as multimedia and 3D gaming applications are used they require a large amount of bandwidth and processing power. Furthermore, most of these applications heavily rely on the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU). Due to the architectural design of thin-client systems, they cannot profit from the GPU resulting in slow performance and bad image quality. This paper proposes a thin-client system which addresses these problems: the paper introduces a realtime desktopstreamer using a videocodec to stream the graphical output of applications after GPU-processing to a thin-client device, capable of decoding a videostream.

whitepaper Thin Client Collaboration Web Services2005-12-04 Indiana University
  This paper introduces some collaboration applications, and the needs in changing them to Web Services. The paper proposes and describes the idea of Thin Client Collaboration Web Services, and explores some potential scenarios of this idea in which it shows its merit and the freedom resulted in collaboration. Such a Web Service has two sets of ports: User-facing Input/Output ports and Resource-facing Input/Output ports. The user-facing I/O contacts a Web Service viewer, and the resource-facing I/O contacts a collaboration application. Hence, the role of the Web Service is to transcode in both directions between the two sets of ports with respect to displays and events, so that the user accesses the Web Service viewer as if the collaboration application itself.
