The latest release of Stripes, version 1.5, preserves this nature by enhancing many of its existing features without requiring extra work or adding complexity. This paper highlights the main enhancements in Stripes 1.5, including simplified configuration and added support for security and AJAX.

whitepaper Audio System Maker Drives Innovation Through Online Dealer Community2008-09-01 Microsoft
  A subsidiary of Japanese audio system manufacturer Pioneer Corporation, the Pioneer Electronics (USA) Mobile Business Group sells Pioneer and Premier after-market car audio, navigation, and accessories through a 4,000-dealer network across the United States. Relying on its dealers to correctly install its increasingly complex after-market car audio products, Pioneer Electronics began to look for ways to better support the dealers, many of whom had no way to collaborate with peers for help. So Pioneer deployed social networking technologies in a business context, building a dealer portal based on Microsoft software. Now dealers have a vibrant online community where they can share their knowledge, take training, promote their stores, and build allegiance to the Pioneer brand.

whitepaper Develop a Mobile RSS Feed the Easy Way: Find Out How to Take Your Basic Web Development Skills and Build a Mobile J2ME Application2008-08-28 JupiterMedia
  Looking at the J2ME options, the developer will see that, even if he program in J2ME, mobile phones come in different configurations. This impacts screen size and resolution and buttons and keyboard layouts, among other things. The developer has probably already realized that it's going to take a lot of code to create something useful, and then he will have to port the app to all the different platforms out there. Presuming the developer will rather spend his time developing than testing and porting, it would be worth the time to check into Breeze, a new J2ME development platform from called Cascada Mobile. With Breeze, the developer builds the mobile app in J2ME, but he develops in HTML and JavaScript.

whitepaper Facebook Meets the Virtualized Enterprise2008-07-06 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper explores the advantages of using Web 2.0 and cloud computing technologies in an enterprise setting to provide employees with a comprehensive and transparent environment for utilizing applications. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach they have developed an environment that uses Facebook (a social networking platform) to provide access to the Fire Dynamics Simulator (a legacy application). The application is supported using Virtual Appliances that are hosted in an internal cloud computing infrastructure that adapts dynamically to user demands. Initial feedback suggests this approach provides a much better user experience than the traditional standalone use of the application. It also simplifies the management and increases the effective utilization of the underlying IT resources.

whitepaper Web Video: Enable a Richer Experience With Metadata2008-06-01 Cisco Systems
  Video has become an integral part of a true web experience. In many ways web video is like television; however, the web allows for a much richer interactive experience than just passively watching television. With a keyboard, mouse, and other input devices nearby, a viewer can interact much more actively with video content than is possible sitting back on a couch with a remote in hand. Enabling a true interactive experience with the end user requires more descriptive data about the content they are watching, regardless of the format and location in which they view the content. The rise of web 2.0 technology facilitates the end user's contribution, commenting, and even correction of the metadata associated with content.
