“…Most authors indicate that implementation frameworks provide support for event-processing, and, although RIAs operate under specific technological constraints specific to the web environment (e.g., security constraints, fixed communication protocols), solutions may be borrowed from older event-oriented research fields (e.g., event-driven programming). Therefore, research effort was put in providing modeling level support Dolog and Stage 2007;Carughi 2007], and few work on higher level implementation support.…”

BACKGROUND. The term Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) is generally associated with Web applications that provide the features and functionality of traditional desktop applications. Ten years after the introduction of the term, an ample amount of research has been carried out to study various aspects of RIAs. It has thus become essential to summarize this research and provide an adequate overview. OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study is to assemble, classify, and analyze all RIA research performed in the scientific community, thus providing a consolidated overview thereof, and to identify well-established topics, trends, and open research issues. Additionally, we provide a qualitative discussion of the most interesting findings. This work therefore serves as a reference work for beginning and established RIA researchers alike, as well as for industrial actors that need an introduction in the field, or seek pointers to (a specific subset of) the state-of-the-art. METHOD. A systematic mapping study is performed in order to identify all RIA-related publications, define a classification scheme, and categorize, analyze, and discuss the identified research according to it. RESULTS. Our source identification phase resulted in 133 relevant, peer-reviewed publications, published between 2002 and 2011 in a wide variety of venues. They were subsequently classified according to four facets: development activity, research topic, contribution type, and research type. Pie, stacked bar, and bubble charts were used to depict and analyze the results. A deeper analysis is provided for the most interesting and/or remarkable results. CONCLUSION. Analysis of the results shows that, although the RIA term was coined in 2002, the first RIA-related research appeared in 2004. From 2007 there was a significant increase in research activity, peaking in 2009 and decreasing to pre-2009 levels afterwards. All development phases are covered in the identified research, with emphasis on “design” (33%) and “implementation” (29%). The majority of research proposes a “method” (44%), followed by “model” (22%), “methodology” (18%), and “tools” (16%); no publications in the category “metrics” were found. The preponderant research topic is “models, methods and methodologies” (23%) and, to a lesser extent, “usability and accessibility” and “user interface” (11% each). On the other hand, the topic “localization, internationalization and multilinguality” received no attention at all, and topics such as “deep Web” (under 1%), “business processing”, “usage analysis”, “data management”, “quality and metrics” (all under 2%), “semantics”, and “performance” (slightly above 2%) received very little attention. Finally, there is a large majority of “solution proposals” (66%), few “evaluation research” (14%), and even fewer “validation” (6%), although the latter have been increasing in recent years.

“…The most relevant ones are (1) OOHDM [16] which provides the use of ADVcharts to model widget interaction [14]. (2) WebML which extends its conceptual modeling primitives for RIA's [3] and provides support for distributed event-driven RIA's and specific interaction patterns typically occurring in RIA's [2]. (3) RUX [13], a method independent presentation framework for RIA's, allowing it to tackle presentational specificities of RIA's.…”

“…The Web engineering community is well-aware of these difficult challenges, extending the design methodologies that target traditional Web 1.0 applications to also support RIAs (e.g. WebML [3], RUX [13], OOHRIA [9], OOHDM [16]). However, due to their relative youthfulness, these new methodologies do not yet cover all design concerns usually encountered in state-of-the-art Web applications.…”

Abstract.Recently, existing design methodologies targeting traditional Web applications have been extended for Rich Internet Application modeling support. These extended methodologies currently cover the traditionally wellestablished design concerns, i.e. data and navigation design, and provide additional focus on user interaction and presentation capabilities. However, there is still a lack of design support for more advanced functionality that now is typically offered in state-of-the-art Web applications. One yet unsupported design concern is the personalization of content and presentation to the specific user and his/her context, making use of the extra presentational possibilities offered by RIAs. This article addresses this concern and presents an extension of the RIA design approach OOH4RIA, to include presentation personalization support. We show how to extend the RIA development process to model the required personalization at the correct level of abstraction, and how these specifications can be realized using present RIA technology.

Promptness, efficiency and stickiness are among the advantages exhibited by the new crop of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). These advantages came at the cost of increasing the complexity of development. Additionally, the plethora of RIA frameworks can lock this code into a specific platform. This scenario advises for using model-driven development (MDD). This paper focuses on interactionrich RIAs by addressing two issues: (1) interaction dependencies among widgets, and (2) grouping of widgets into Ajax pages. These concerns are captured in the Orchestration Model. MDD wise, OO-H metamodels accounts for the PIMs whereas Google Web Toolkit is the selected PSM. During transformation, a "message broker" pattern is introduced to decouple widgets from their dependencies. When Ajax pages are generated, heuristics are introduced to find a balance between communication overhead, presentation readiness and maintainability. A running example is used throughout.
