Distributing a commercial off-the-shelf QSAR application with JNLP

Abstract

This talk covers some of the challenges faced by a software vendor when opting for the Java Network Launching Protocol (JNLP) as the delivery channel for a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) application.

The talk is backed by the real world experience gathered while working on PharmaDM's DMax Chemistry Assistant™, an application for discovering quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) in small molecule screening data.
