  1. Next-Gen GUI for Web ServicesJohn D. Ko, CEO/CTOCincro Communicationsjko@cincro.comMay, 2001

  2. Why do we need another UI? • Default Web GUI is HTML • Plug-in helps, but falls short • Disjoint between Client & Server • Therefore, no interaction: IM & P2P

  3. Today’s UI challenges • Data scalability • Human-2-human interaction • Information flow: one to few • P2P don’t cut it: scalability & security • Instant communication beyond text

  4. Live Web services anyone? • Need for Web Services that offer session-based interaction, I.e. collaboration • An integrated approach to Interactive Web Services: • Scalable Real-time data services • Unified: Creation, Sharing & Collaboration

  5. Going beyond HTML • HTML/XML/etc. • Lack of scalable content delivery • Dynamic updates difficult • It’s just a document • New Approach • Information Decomposition • Spatial, visual exploitation • Zoom World

  6. Communications: visually • Zoomable, infinite space • Effective means of conveying info • Immediate mark-up, annotation • Scalable delivery & viewing (images) • We’re spatial animals

  7. Collaboration: easily • Live information implies interaction (everything is dynamic) • Real-time delivery of information implies collaboration • Unified information space implies ubiquitous sharing (PDA, etc.)

  8. Content: instantly • Scalable information storage and distribution (overcome B/W) • Fine-grain, dynamic creation + updates • Asynchronous communication, information always online & available • 100% WYSIWYG

  9. Architecture & Model Today’s Web Application Internet Back-end Information App Server HTML Browser Tomorrow’s Web Application App Server-- HTML Browser Internet Back-end Information Zanvas Server Zanvas Platform

  10. Zanvas: Distributed Viz OBJs • Extend parts of the AppServer into the client • Client maintains a complete BeanBox-like environment • Distribution of data and other services are maintained in sessions • Bring modules dynamically, to create client side services

  11. Online Interaction + Authoring = Powerful Information Sharing • Brings collaboration to any Web applications • Addresses communication needs between users in complex processes • Unifies the UI for managing and performing tasks

  12. Convergence factor • Trillions of bytes of image data created daily • B/W still sucks for many • Explosive growth in CPU & Graphics • Need for optimizing human to human interactions • AI is overrated; humans are cheap

  13. Virtual Space for everyone • Bring a person’s knowledge space into an online space • Extend your computer desktop into an online desktop • Go straight to the source for information • Instant interaction with the creator of the online space
