“…Nowadays, web applications provide as many functionalities as desktop applications, with additional remote capability and platform/device independency. As defined in [2] major goals to achieve are the efficiently input-output data passing, the utilization of different sets of clients and usability for users. As an example XForms [3] is a markup language that minimizes the need of scripting by allowing dynamic form data and events to be handled declaratively.…”

Abstract. Natural and intuitive interaction between users and complex systems is a crucial research topic in human-computer interaction. A major direction is the definition and implementation of systems with natural language understanding capabilities. The interaction in natural language is often performed by means of systems called chatbots. A chatbot is a conversational agent with a proper knowledge base able to interact with users. Chatbots appearance can be very sophisticated with 3D avatars and speech processing modules. However the interaction between the system and the user is only performed through textual areas for inputs and replies. An interaction able to add to natural language also graphical widgets could be more effective. On the other side, a graphical interaction involving also the natural language can increase the comfort of the user instead of using only graphical widgets. In many applications multi-modal communication must be preferred when the user and the system have a tight and complex interaction. Typical examples are cultural heritages applications (intelligent museum guides, picture browsing) or systems providing the user with integrated information taken from different and heterogenous sources as in the case of the iGoogle TM interface. We propose to mix the two modalities (verbal and graphical) to build systems with a reconfigurable interface, which is able to change with respect to the particular application context. The result of this proposal is the Graphical Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (GAIML) an extension of AIML allowing merging both interaction modalities. In this context a suitable chatbot system called Graphbot is presented to support this language. With this language is possible to define personalized interface patterns that are the most suitable ones in relation to the data types exchanged between the user and the system according to the context of the dialogue.

“…The ODF presentation may also include form controls that capture key pieces of fill-in-the-blank data, which are consolidated in an XForms model [2]. XForms dramatically increases the simplicity and maintainability of interactive web applications for structured data collection [4]. In [3], the first author posits that this is due to better alignment with the Web 2.0 application model and fully explores the extension to semi-structured content collection on the web based on ODF and XForms 1.1.…”

An office document mashup called 'Dual Forms' is presented to demonstrate the feasibility and advantages of imbuing an office document with intelligent interaction capabilities, access to web services of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), digital signatures for legally binding contractual agreements, and a self-submission capability that allows the document to flow through a collaborative network or business process.

“…• Honkala and Vuorimaa [16] propose extending the XForm [14] form to a digital signature XForm. They adopt the digital signature for XForm forms rather than (X) HTML forms because it is hard to apply a digital signature to an (X) HTML form.…”

An Input validation can be a critical issue. Typically, a little attention is paid to it in a web development project, because overenthusiastic validation can tend to cause failures in the software, and can also break the security upon web applications such as an unauthorized access to data. Now, it is estimated the web application vulnerabilities (such as XSS or SQL injection) for more than two thirds of the reported web security vulnerabilities. In this paper, we start with a case study of the bypassing data validation and security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and then go on to discuss the merits of a number of common data validation techniques. We also review the different solutions to date to provide data validation techniques in ecommerce applications. From this analysis, a new data validation service which is based upon semantic web Technologies, has been designed and implemented to prevent the web security vulnerabilities at the application level and to secure the web system even if the input validation modules are bypassed. Our semantic architecture consists of the following components: RDFa annotation for elements of web pages, interceptor, RDF extractor, RDF parser, and data validator. The experimental results of the pilot study indicate that the proposed data validation service might provide a detection, and prevention of some web application attacks.
