Conference SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 2003 Curl Client/Web Platform Consumes Web Services Directly on Client Devices Driving Just-in-Time Information Consumption Curl Corporation announces today that they will present the key to successful Web services initiatives at the DCI Enterprise Portals and Web Services Conference in San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden on April 15-16. Curl will be exhibiting in booth #111, and presenting on April 15th. In response to the burgeoning demand from enterprise customers to use Web services for both new applications and to bring new life to their legacy applications, the Curl(TM) Client/Web Platform enables enterprises to consume Web services directly on client devices to drive just-in-time information consumption. "With our ability to effectively consume Web services, Curl continues to demonstrate its commitment to the execution of enterprise applications via the Web," said Robert Hoyt, senior vice president at Curl. "Curl is the only rich client platform A Rich Client Platform (RCP) is a piece of software consisting of the following components:
Just-in-Time Information Consumption The Web services model is emerging as the next-generation paradigm for making use of information and applications residing on a wide range of disparate information systems. Traditional Web-enabling technologies, however, don't completely leverage Web service possibilities, because they enable access to the unleashed information and applications through an old paradigm for delivery and consumption. To fully deliver on the Web services promise, Curl's strategy employs its rich client user interface to make calls directly to Web services. Instead of relying on an application server to gather information from disparate Web services, then create an HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. page on the fly, then send it down to a relatively dumb DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND.

The first text-based browser for the World Wide Web became available in 1991; Web use expanded rapidly after the release in 1993 of a browser called Mosaic, which used , the Curl Client/Web Platform enables developers to move some or all of the application server logic to a smart client on the desktop itself, therefore by-passing the application server altogether, if so desired. Curl's smart client enables organizations to deploy Web services cost effectively, on an infrastructure with a very small footprint The amount of geographic space covered by an object.

It also enables organizations to avoid performance bottlenecks at the application server level--where HTML page creation can be stalled stall 1 n. 1.

It also enables organizations to avoid the delays associated with interface development, because the platform has been built to enable rapid development. For example, Siemens Corporation built a UI using Curl's smart client in just a few weeks--an effort that would have taken six months using a standard thin-client approach. Curl's rich client technology works with existing Web services, as well as Web services that have yet to be developed. Curl is server-agnostic making it compatible with all back-end technologies, and integrates seamlessly into an existing infrastructure without causing disruptions to other development projects within the system.
