Abstract

Web based thin clients are applications delivering content from the Internet or Intranet and accessed via the browser on the running end device. These clients are portable and cross-device compatible and have a large spectrum of applications, can perform from tele-measurement tasks to management and information centralization. The capability of web-based thin clients to function offline is a requirement that is indispensable even today for many companies because offline-enabled thin clients allow the users to continue working without workflow disturbance, preventing the loss of data, even when the connection to the Internet is missing or malfunctioning. This paper is dedicated to a “barrier-free” cross-platform responsive and progressive web based thin client, presenting its architecture and development, as well as the offline capabilities using caching techniques and its advantages in resource management and information back-up and security.
