Describe ICA.

What will be an ideal response?


ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) is an efficient remote-access method used to connect thin clients to a network. A thin client is a networked device (typically a diskless workstation) that receives its software and information from a network server. No applications execute on a thin client. Instead, through ICA technology, only keystrokes, mouse clicks, and screen updates traverse the network between the thin client and the server. This greatly reduces workload on the user's machine at the cost of some additional network traffic. It also provides centralized control over applications that run on thin clients. Even fat clients (a real PC with lots of power) benefit from using ICA, since all application processing is performed on the ICA server, and not on the client.

Which of the following statements about the ARPANET and the Internet is false?

a. The ARPANET was the precursor to today’s Internet. b. Today’s fastest Internet speeds are on the order of millions of bits per second with billion-bits-per-second (gigabit) speeds already being tested. c. Although the ARPANET enabled researchers to network their computers, its main benefit proved to be the capability for quick and easy communication via what came to be known as electronic mail (e-mail). d. The protocol (set of rules) for communicating over the ARPANET became known as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP ensured that messages, consisting of sequentially numbered pieces called packets, were properly delivered from sender to receiver, arrived intact and were assembled in the correct order.

This is suitable because it does not pass values of Remote as arguments or results. The tool wscompile is used to generate a WSDL document describing the service from the above interface. When the service is deployed, this document is installed in the servlet container from whence clients may get it.
