  Cloud AOO toIncrease the Market Share ● Brief Introduction of the approach – Run AOO under a cloud environment as a service – Access AOO through a web browser – The UI of AOO will be transformed and presented within the client's web browser – 'View', 'Operate' and 'Edit Content' ● E.g., locating cursor, inputting characters, selecting content for deletion or change of properties within web browser ● Main technical composition – AOO+Web Server+XML+HTML+JS+Dojo ● AOO: AOO Professional UNO ● Web Server: Apache Tomcat 7.0.26 ● XML: XML ● HTML and JS => HTML5 5

  Cloud AOO toIncrease the Market Share ● Architecture 6
• 7.
  Cloud AOO toIncrease the Market Share ● “UNO Graphic” and “UNO Event” – “GUI and Event APIs” are responsible for handling the user events (Mouse, Key and Refresh) and locating the actual positions within AOO ● “XML Creator, Graphic API and Event API” – Generate the middle GUI XML files that describe the UI, contents and layout in AOO 7
• 8.
  Cloud AOO toIncrease the Market Share ● Detail Introduction II of the Architecture – “GUI XML Interpreter” ● Parse the UI info, contents and layout info recorded in the XML files – “GUI Representor” ● Render the UI, contents and layout parsed from XML files to ensure the same contents and layout in AOO – “User Action Recorder” ● Record the behavior of end users, such as the mouse, keyboard, refresh and so on – “User Event XML Generator” ● Generate XML files to describe the recorded user events 8

  Cloud AOO toIncrease the Market Share ● Detail Introduction III of the Architecture – “Servlets A, B and C” ● Transact the mouse event, keyboard, refresh and results respectively to AOO – “Event Middle XML” ● Manage the middle XML files, such as add, delete and so on – “UNO Query Parameter Generator” ● Translate the mouse event, keyboard, refresh and results to what they should be in AOO and generate the parameters for calling APIs of AOO 9

  Benefits of theApproach ● This approach would extend the deployment of AOO to mobile devices enabling users to adopt AOO as their document handling tool ● This approach would have just a small impact on AOO, and would get win-win with it ● No platform dependent UI presentation in AOO as the UI presentation would be processed in the web browser ● This approach would support a deployment of AOO in cloud and social environments 15
• 16.
  Existing Challenges and PossibleEnhancements for the Future ● Existing Challenges – The AOO process can not be shared and each end user will have his/her own process when accessing AOO through web browser – The performance of rendering may have issues because the Web browser is responsible for that and there is existing a bridge connection – The UI presentation part of AOO needs to be XML-Based ● Possible Enhancements for the Future – Translate the UI style and user experiences to align with the specific ones on the OS of the mobile devices 16
