Cloud Based Uniied IDE for Net Languages

Abstract

Cloud based Unified IDE for .NET Languages is an embedded web application that provides an environment for online compilation and execution of codes. It supports multi-languages which include C# and Visual Basic. Users will perform remote online compilation and execution of their codes without requiring intensive CPU and memory usage as Unified IDE is provided on the Cloud. By combining Cloud Computing technology, our web application will facilitate the remote users and remove the requirement for powerful systems and provide portability through provision of SaaS. The objective is to provide remote code compilation and execution facility especially for the academic community in Pakistan. The students who don’t have Visual studio.NET, VB compilers on their personal computers, will open web browser and access the unified framework web service. They will write their C# and VB codes, compile and execute it online. The computation will be done at cloud servers and interface will also be available on iOS based mobile devices. The system shall fulfill the legal requirement by working under multi-user license from relevant vendors. In the second phase, the prime objective is to create a middleware for a generic computation facility accessible to all kind of users who want to run programs on their smart phones and tablets with complex algorithms which require higher processing and memory resources. The examples include finding large prime numbers, execution of computation intensive and interactive codes on smart phones and tablets. The front end will be available on smart phones and tablets through which users will give the command and initiate the application. The middleware will execute the program at the back end cloud servers through calling procedure and passing necessary arguments. The results shall be displayed on mobile devices withan illusion of local execution and maintain a suitable transparency level. The project will also enhance the potential and capability of light weight smart phones and tablets with more convenience to users.
