RIAs
A Rich Internet Application ( RIA ) is a Web application that has many of the characteristics of desktop application software , typically delivered either by way of a site-specific browser , via a browser plug-in , independent sandboxes , extensive use of JavaScript , or virtual machines . [ 1 ] Adobe Flash , JavaFX , and Microsoft Silverlight are currently the three most common platforms, with desktop browser penetration rates around 96%, 76%, and 66% respectively (as of August 2011). [ 2 ] Mobile phone penetration of these plugins, however, has remained low even as internet traffic from these devices has grown. [ 3 ] Although new Web standards have emerged, they still use the principles behind RIAs.

The Future of RIAs is HTML5
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are the future of web applications. Unlike first generation SaaS applications that were built on a static web paradigm, RIAs bring the power of desktop-like experience to the cloud. The next generation of cloud applications is going to be RIA based, incorporating the interactivity and responsiveness you expect from a desktop application.
