abstract = {{Web applications are becoming increasingly performant and are now capable, in many cases, of replacing traditional desktop applications. There is also a user demand for web-based applications, surely linked to their modern look & feel, their ease of access, and the overall familiarity of the users with web applications due to their pervasive nature. However, when it comes to a Controls environment, the limitations caused by the fact that web applications run inside a web browser are often seen as a major disadvantage when compared to native desktop applications. In addition, applications deployed in CERN’s Control Centre are tightly integrated with the control system and use a CERN-specific launcher and manager that does not easily integrate with web browsers. This paper presents an analysis of the approaches that have been considered for deploying web applications and integrating them with CERN’s control system. The implications on the development process, the IT infrastructure, the deployment methods as well as the performance impact on the resources of the target computers are also discussed. }},
