Thin client solutions are applications that run on a supported web browser. The applications are developed as web pages that are hosted on a server. The client devices (mobile handhelds and personal digital assistants [PDAs]) can access these applications through the browsers. Thin client solutions are suited for applications that do not require any hardware resource access of the underlying platform and are always connected to the network. A typical example is portal services, which can be used for online shopping. Users can simply login to the portal through the web browser by accessing the corresponding URL. Thin client solutions always require connectivity to the hosted system and are known as "always connected" applications.

Mobility: A key benefit of desktop virtualization in this highly mobile world is the ability to use thin clients as end-point devices. This creates an opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of user personal hardware by replacing desktop and laptop PCs with thin-client devices such as smartphones and tablets, which tend to have a life span twice that of a standard PC. Furthermore, these thin clients consume less power when compared to standard PCs, and they can be carried and used almost anywhere. This is especially useful in situations where users need to work from home, on trains and planes, in customer offices, and away from their desks in a variety of other remote worker scenarios.

The term ‘cloud computing’ can be coined to describe a model delivering the hardware (servers, storage, memory, bandwidth and networks) and the software (operating system, tools and applications) as service utilities over the internet using a thin client (Armbrust et al. 2010; Mell and Grance 2011). The end goal of cloud computing is to offer infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) models to cloud users on a metered basis in a dynamically scalable environment (Foster et al. 2008). The emergence of cloud computing, with its immense capacity, has had such a significant impact on the information and communications technology (ICT) industry that the giants, such as Google, Microsoft and Amazon, are thriving from joining this paradigm to gain its benefits. These cloud service providers have become the major stakeholders in the cloud market in recent years owing to the appealing features of the cloud, such as no up-front investment, low operational costs, unlimited scalability, essay access to services, reduced business risk and low maintenance overheads (Zhang, Cheng, and Boutaba 2010).

Another commercial expert system building tool is XpertRule (XpertRule, 2016), which offers a Knowledge Builder Rules Authoring Studio. The XpertRule KBS interfaces over the Web with a thin client using Microsoft's Active Server Page technology. Applications developed using the Knowledge Builder Rules Authoring Studio can be generated as Java Script/HTML files for deployment as Web applications. The Web Deployment Engine is a JavaScript rules runtime engine which runs within a browser.
