The Reports recommendations in 2002: Recommendations
NR recommendations included:
Client: We recommend using a standardized browser for the PC clients. We do not recommend to develop a special EPR-based browser, either for the PC, PDA or communicator / mobile phone unless it is strictly necessary.
Server: We recommend a solution based on a J2EE architecture. We therefore recommend a well proven and organized application server architecture based on Java technology. Here it is several products available also including open-source solutions. We would recommend that a well-proven industrial product would be selected. Of course this is a question of economy and availability in relevant operational contexts.
Voice Server: We recommend a solution based on VXML exchange between Web server and Voice server.
Database: Conceptual we recommend that it will be differed between a structured-database and a content-database. We do not recommend any specific type of database system to be used, because it depend on economy and availability. There is no particular reason to choose anything else than a relational database, but there may be developmental benefits in choosing an object database solution for the structured-database. |
