Refactoring to rich internet applications : a model-driven approach

ArticleSeries: ^p Datos electrónicos (1 archivo : 589 KB)Publication details: ref_localidad@37940 : , 2008Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) combine the simplicity of the hypertext paradigm with the flexibility of desktop interfaces. The quick emergence of these applications is driving a new (r)evolution in the Web field. Building RIAs from scratch is often unfeasible because companies do not want to loose their investments in legacy Web software; additionally, most users are still accustomed to the “old” Web interaction style. In this paper we present an evolutionary approach to transform conventional Web software into RIAs; we show how to apply the wellknown refactoring concept to seamless introduce rich interface functionality in a Web application. By applying refactoring at the model level, we make the transition more systematic and less prone to error. We briefly introduce the problem with a simple example, and then we describe two refactorings and present our approach to specify these refactorings at the interface design level.

Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) combine the simplicity of the hypertext paradigm with the flexibility of desktop interfaces. The quick emergence of these applications is driving a new (r)evolution in the Web field. Building RIAs from scratch is often unfeasible because companies do not want to loose their investments in legacy Web software; additionally, most users are still accustomed to the “old” Web interaction style. In this paper we present an evolutionary approach to transform conventional Web software into RIAs; we show how to apply the wellknown refactoring concept to seamless introduce rich interface functionality in a Web application. By applying refactoring at the model level, we make the transition more systematic and less prone to error. We briefly introduce the problem with a simple example, and then we describe two refactorings and present our approach to specify these refactorings at the interface design level.
