5. The Demand For True Mobile Business Applications
 True, rich, responsive mobile applications
– Even when the network connection is erratic or inexistent.
– Even with the constraints of bandwidth, storage, and battery life
– Even with the requirements of data security (access rights,
encryption)
– Great UI matching today’s standard (material design…)
– Should be platform-agnostic
 Should not need to be a “rip and replace”
– Needs to leverage previous investment in technology and people
– Should leverage existing processes and data

6. Introducing Darwino
 An open platform for rapidly developing social business applications targeting
primarily Mobile and Cloud
 Allows developers to focus on the application, not the specifics of each mobile platform
or the wiring of the application with legacy systems, or social platforms
 Provides seamless offline capability
 Adapts to what the developer knows in term of UI, programming languages and
databases
 For today and tomorrow’s applications: Android, iOS, Brillo…

7. Darwino – What is Behind the Hood?
 Full stack of components: back-end, runtime, studio…
 Supports all platforms: web, mobile native or hybrid applications
– Advanced hybrid architecture
 Provides high performance JSON document store on all the platforms
 Encapsulate many services within comprehensive and portable APIs (user profiles,
communities, files…), with offline cache
 Focus on Java as the portable language for the business logic
– The same business logic can run equally on the server and on the devices
– Android and J2EE developers feel at home

Components
- Darwino provides all the components to
create rich, highly interactive social mobile
applications
- Supports Web and mobile developments
- Included JSON Data Store
- All services as exposed as REST services
- Darwino Studio, for core developers
- Darwino Designer, for citizen developers

9. DarwinoDB
 The foundational component that makes everything possible
– NO-SQL, JSON document store, including semi structured data and binary attachments
– Granular security model, down to the document level
– Extensive MongoDB like query and data transformation language, including full text search
– Native multi-tenancy capability to support cloud based security
– Multi-point data replication between clients and servers, across platforms
– Integrated social features: tagging, rating, sharing, commenting, …
– Fully transactional
 Based on top of existing relational databases
– Takes advantage of the existing RDBMS features, including the new JSON capability
– The missing piece between NoSQL and NewSQL!

10. DarwinoDB – Synchronize Any Data, Anywhere
 The world’s most advanced data synchronization mechanism
– Multipoint, bi-directional
– Security ensures that only the authorized data are synchronized
– Full transactional, with commit thresholds
– Data filtering for synchronizing data subsets
– Customizable functional replication logic (conflicts, error recovery…)
 DarwinoDB acts as a mobile front-end database to any data, including big data
– Synchronizes between Darwino DB JSON stores, or external data sources
– Public APIs for creating custom synchronization adapters
 Remote servers are accessed through HTTP/WebSockets, but other transports/protocols
can be used (ex: Bluetooth for mobile to mobile data synchronization).

11. Use The Technology That Best Suits Your Business Needs
 Darwino does not preclude or prescribe any particular technology but provides
components libraries to support the application and its UI
Web Browser and Hybrid Native Mobile UI
Pure web
- JSON store client JS APIs
- JSON store server side Java APIs
- AngularJS, Polymer
- CSS frameworks: Bootstrap, Ionic, Material Design
Hybrid
- Application shell
- Local server with data and services access
Android components
iOS Components - RoboVM
- Java JSON store APIs
- Business logic services
- UI widgets
- Data adapters (views, …)

12. Darwino – Next Generation of Hybrid Applications
 Darwino provides a framework to make your Web and Mobile applications 100% portable
across platforms and devices
– Same architecture on the server and the devices
– Clean separation between the UI and the business logic
– Portable URLs, whenever the resources are local or remote
– Smart proxy with caching capability
– Hybrid extensions to leverage the native capabilities
 Makes the offline mode seamless to the application
– Both the data and the business logic are provided offline
 Leverages any library, without the need of adapters
– Angular Material, Polymer, Ionic, Bootstrap, JQuery…
 Native UI is provided for common components, like the settings pages

13. Darwino – Cross Platform Architecture
Local HTTP Server
Runtime Libraries
Business Logic
Local Database
Mobile Device
Web Component
for rendering
• The business logic is separated from the UI and is executed as native code (primarily Java)
• The Darwino hybrid application embeds a fast, tiny HTTP server for serving the UI, the web
resources and the data
• Both the business logic and the UI code are identical on the local device and the server
• Native UI is provided for common features, like the settings page
Application Server
HTTP Server
Runtime Libraries
Business Logic
Enterprise DatabaseData Synchronization
Online Data Access
Web Browser Access
