| <p>The Riena platform is the foundation for building multi-tier enterprise client/server |
| applications. As such Riena is broadening the usage of the service oriented architecture of OSGi/Equinox |
| by providing access to local and remote services in a transparent way. Using this uniform programming |
| model, the components of Riena and the business components of the enterprise application can be |
| developed regardless of their target location. Components are later easily placed on client or |
| server depending on the business requirements.<br/> |
| As an example the Riena user interface components will support a business process oriented user |
| interface visualization and navigation metaphor which can be used as alternative to the default |
| workbench layout.</p> |
