Most enterprise applications are based on old client-server technology with high cost of ownership and lack of flexibility. Switching to the Web as a platform for mission-critical applications is very appealing as it lowers the TCO significantly.

Accordingly, the AJAXWorld RIA Conference Advisory Board welcomes submissions on all topics relevant to rich-content RIA web development , including...

Topics will include:

  • The Business Case for Rich Internet Applications
  • JavaFX vs Silverlight vs Flash/Flex/AIR

  • Rico 2.0, Zend Framework 1.5 etc
  • Comet / Reverse AJAX
