Abstract: A computing system based on Transparence Computing consists of clients and a server. There is no disk and no preinstalled OS on the client; a remote booting chip is set on the client's mainboard for downloading and loading the OS. Boot-supporting services, OS kernel mirrors, and applications are preset on the server; After being powered, the client broadcasts the boot request to the network and the server allocates network parameters for it. The client downloads an OS-selecting script from the server. After the user selects the needed OS, the client downloads and loads the selected OS from the server. Hence, the client fulfills the user's computing requirements just as a normal PC. The computing work is implemented on the client-side, during which the client can acquire corresponding resources such as applications, data, and documents from the server on demand.

Abstract: A method is provided for encapsulating and accessing components, comprising: configurating component warehouse and storing components acquired from the Internet into the component warehouse to form a component warehouse computer; configurating a component directory library on another computer to form a component directory library computer; fetching component from the component computer by a user computer, encapsulating the component to form a encapsulated component, and organizing and storing the encapsulated component in the component directory library computer; and performing unified access to component resources by a user computer based on the component encapsulation information in the component directory library computer. The method can implement unified description and efficient organization of the existing component resources, to thereby support efficient retrieval and unified access to the component resources by high level applications.
