Method and system for creating IT-oriented server-based web applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for allowing a computerized system to use IT-oriented server-based Web applications to be presented over a data network, where events are associated with corresponding ID tags that represent application objects and a timestamp is assigned to each event.

Abstract: Method for allowing a computerized system to use IT-oriented server-based Web applications to be presented over a data network. Accordingly, an application (105) is installed on a server side (200), being in data communication with a client side terminal (300) over the data network (500). A dedicated kernel is downloaded once to the client side (300), for mediating between the application and the client's side (300). At the client side (300), events are associated with corresponding ID tags that represent application objects and a timestamp is assigned to each event. Events are queued (129) and sent to the application (105) in the form of a queue of events, only when a critical event occurs. At the server side (200), events are translated to application actions by associating between them and the application objects, using the ID tags. If the application objects of the client (300) is more updated by comparing between the timestamp of each received event and the last updated timestamp of the application object, a data packet containing only updating commands for the client side to update the relevant layout objects reflecting the application updates is prepared and sent back to the client side (300) as updates. Finally, the screen layout objects at the client side (300) are updated by a presentation layer, according to the content of the data packet.
