> In the past 20 years we've swung from a completely centralized model of
> computing where applications lived on a central server to a nearly
> completely distributed model of computing where applications live on
> every desktop and laptop. System security can be improved by returning
> to a centralized Thin Client technology. In this presentation, James
> Tarala will examine what cost benefits can be obtained through
> implementing this computing model and evaluate how this model can help
> us to better secure our networks.
