Abstract
Device categories are converging, operating systems proliferating and physical devices are becoming more and more interconnected. However, to develop an application for different devices is extremely difficult and complex whereby Web technologies are a good candidate to solve this problem. To support application developers multiple approaches currently exist that providing solutions for platform independent application development based on Web technologies. In this chapter an overview about current Web application related activities is given and the webinos Web runtime is introduced. Webinos goes another step further by also exposing features of remote devices and services as well as allowing developing distributed Web applications.
