Portalet as a front end for enabling the e-service functions of CAX tool on the web

In this paper, we propose a portalet-based architecture with which e-service functions through calling CAX tools remotely can be realised. Furthermore, as the core of the portalet, the contexts of calling mode service, queueing and managing service, visual I/O service and collaborative service are discussed in detail. In order to verify the feasibility of the method proposed, a running example is given.
