Abstract: A method and system for optimizing bandwidth usage in remote visualization are provided. The method may comprise determining a region of interest and a region of non-interest of the image; sending data relating to the region of interest via a reliable priority data stream; and sending data relating to the region of non-interest via a less reliable non-priority data stream. The priority data stream may be a high quality and/or high speed data stream, while the non-priority data stream may be a lower quality and/or lower speed data stream. The region of interest and the region of non-interest may be determined in various ways, including via automatic selection (e.g., through the use of image-based algorithms), via an application programming interface of one of a plurality of graphics applications that generate the image, or via manual selection by a user.

Abstract: A method, system, and program product is disclosed for remote visualization in which a server window contents is displayed remotely at a client. The client creates a 3D rendering surface on a client graphics card to display a server window contents and receives update data from the server relating to the server window contents. The update data is uploaded to the client graphics card and the graphics processing unit (GPU) is used to decode the update data and render the update data to the 3D rendering surface. The graphical processing unit includes general purpose computing on graphics processing unit functionality to provide the decoding processing.

Abstract: A method, system and software tool for emulating a portal application in a rich client application are provided. The rich client application is executable on a client platform capable of displaying views contributed by plug-in components registered with the client platform. The method comprises providing a user interface for eliciting user inputs for creating a new portal application on the client platform, detecting user selection of a portal page layout, and one or more views for each cell of the page layout, and generating a description of a client page representing the portal application. When the rich client application is run on the client platform it is directed to build a client page representing the portal application using the generated description.

Abstract: A system (100) and method for application sharing based on automatic translation by: running an application in a source language (310), automatically translating (210) at least part of the application from the source language to a target language, and sharing (110) the application in the target language (320). Interception of the application occurs at as high as possible a level so that text methods can be intercepted. The translation may use translation memory (230), machine translation (240) or a combination of these with human translation (250). The sharing may be performed by Windows™ application sharing (120), Java™ application sharing (130), web server redirection (140) or web browser redirection (150). This provides the following advantage(s): An application sharing system can be used, with a link to an automated translated system (either translation memory or machine translation depending on the usage) such that the remote/copy version of the application appears translated.
