Discussions on a novel computing paradigm such as SaaS and cloud computing usually focus on server-side issues, and it is quite rare that the client-side environment, which needs to be used as a part of the novel computing paradigm system, is pointed out. However, users cannot get any benefits provided from such services, if users' clients are not appropriately configured. Furthemore, in many existing cases, the whole system highly depends on the configuration of users-side environment. In this paper, the current situation of the client-side is sorted out and an ideal image of client environment in the novel computing paradigm is proposed. In addition, in order to realize such the ideal situation, possibility on utilization of the Open-Source Software (OSS) is discussed. |
