报告摘要： As we’re entering into the so-called Clobile (Cloud + Mobile) era, software leasing has become one of the most popular business models for the current SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) paradigm. Because software services under the SaaS model are for the general public hence of general-purpose, such service software can not be "downsized" easily according to individual company’s internal requirements, thus increasing the unnecessary cost and complexity in using them. In this talk, we describe a solution called iWorld Enterprise e-Palm Platform which is based on the Clobile technologies. This platform implements, among other features, the ability to dynamically self-customize service software, thereby satisfying various personalized needs imposed by different enterprises. So far, the iWorld platform has been on-line, with several small and medium enterprises being the pilot-users; initial feedbacks from them have been encouraging and quite positive.
