The next years will see a shift from traditional desktop or server applications to a model that is dominated by the confluence of several trends: web-based application delivery, utility computing, software as a service, data mash-ups, and client-side extensions for web customization. This paradigm shift to next-generation cloud applications profoundly changes the way in which users use the world wide web and provides tremendous potential for accelerating scientific discovery. A crucial component in this shift is the web browser and the server infrastructure delivering those complex applications, which typically consist of multiple, interconnected components from different sources.This research aims to create advanced browser and server execution environments that address the needs of these applications.This project integrates a research and education plan that develops abstractions for advanced execution environments that can robustly support next-generation cloud applications. Our primary focus falls on an advanced client-side execution environment called script spaces.Script spaces provide an environment that can support the client side of cloud applications in a reliable, robust, secure, flexible, and scalable fashion. A complementary effort provides a server-side execution environment. We are prototyping our abstractions and validate our techniques by applying them to a client-side mash-up framework that is in daily use. Our education plan applies the research artifacts we create to reinvigorate our undergraduate curriculum by emphasizing real-world contexts in student assignments, even in a first CS course.

未来几年，传统的桌面或服务器应用程序将转变为一种由几种趋势的融合所主导的模型：基于Web的应用程序交付、效用计算、软件即服务、数据混搭以及用于Web定制的客户端扩展。 这种向下一代云应用程序的范式转变深刻地改变了用户使用万维网的方式，并为加速科学发现提供了巨大的潜力。这种转变的一个关键组成部分是Web浏览器和服务器基础设施，它们提供了那些复杂的应用程序，这些应用程序通常由多个，来自不同来源的互连组件。这项研究旨在创建高级浏览器和服务器执行环境，以满足这些应用程序的需求。该项目整合了一个研究和教育计划，为高级执行环境开发抽象，可以强大地支持下一代。一代云应用程序。 我们的主要关注点福尔斯落在一个名为脚本空间的高级客户端执行环境上。脚本空间提供了一个环境，可以以可靠、健壮、安全、灵活和可扩展的方式支持云应用程序的客户端。 另一个补充工作是提供服务器端执行环境。 我们正在对我们的抽象进行原型化，并通过将它们应用于日常使用的客户端混搭框架来验证我们的技术。 我们的教育计划适用于我们创建的研究工件，通过强调学生作业中的现实世界背景来重振我们的本科课程，即使是在第一个CS课程中。
