A Citrix XenApp and Web Based System for Product Design and Management

Abstract

This paper describes a system for product design and management. The system based on Citrix XenApp and Web to take advantage of common CAD softwares own interfaces for product design as well as provide user friendly web interfaces to manage product models. The innovation of this work lies in its concept concerning integrating Citrix XenApp and Web application to produce a highly interactive product design environment while keep those merits of the Web, such as ease of use, collaboration, cross-platform capability, controlled access, etc. In this paper, we first give an overview of the system architecture and then describe the highly-interactive product design environment and product model management interfaces. And at last we talk some issues and approaches used to achieve integration of Citrix XenApp and Web application to realize the efficient design and management system.
