本文探讨了瘦客户端计算实现多媒体应用的问题和技术。我们对瘦客户端网络应用的研究致力于支持瘦客户端多媒体应用的通用插件架构。通过所提出的架构，通用插件技术被设计来将工作从瘦客户端转移到支持服务器，从而减少瘦客户端所需的计算开销。此外，还对该插件架构进行了实现和实证评估。我们的实验表明，所提出的架构不仅显着增强了瘦客户端的多媒体能力，而且还减少了客户端各种应用所消耗的内存，显示了通用插件架构对于资源有限的瘦客户端的巨大优势。
This paper explores the issues and the techniques of enabling multimedia applications for the thin client computing. Our study on the network applications over thin clients is devoted to the universal plug-in architecture which supports multimedia applications over thin clients. With the proposed architecture, the universal plug-in technique is devised to shift jobs from thin clients to a supporting server, thus reducing the computing overhead required by the thin clients. In addition, this plug-in architecture is implemented and empirically evaluated It is shown by our experiments that the proposed architecture not only significantly enhances the multimedia capability of thin clients but also reduces the memory consumed by the clients for various applications, showing the very advantage of the universal plug-in architecture for thin clients of limited resources.
