Such applications are difficult to develop and debug, and require a supporting infrastructure that is not readily available from existing systems. Flatland is a rapid prototyping environment that provides the underlying infrastructure and makes it easy to create and debug distributed internet application prototypes. In addition to the infrastructure needed for a distributed application, Flatland includes safe implementations of the most common sources of distributed application bugs \u2013 asynchronous operation and updating. Flatland also supports streaming audio-video and down-level clients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .asset-content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Computer intra- and internets are widely used for client-server application such as web browsers.
