Streamlining Complexity: Conceptual Page Re-modeling for Rich Internet Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) calls for new conceptual tools that enable web engineers to model the design complexity unleashed by innovative interaction (with increasing communication potential) and to carefully consider the impact of the design decisions on the optimal flow of the User Experience (UX). In this paper we illustrate how is particularly relevant for RIA engineering not only to capture existing RIA technologies with suitable design artifacts but also to model an effective dialogue between users and RIA interfaces. Through a case study, we propose a set of conceptual design primitives (Rich-IDM) to enable web engineers to characterize the fluid, smooth and organic nature of the user interaction, and to take design decisions which meet both usability and communication requirements.

Balancing Complex Page Modeling and Usability for Rich Internet Applications
The growth of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) calls for new conceptual tools that enable designers and web engineers to model and keep under control the design complexity unleashed by innovative interaction (with increasing communication potential) and carefully consider the impact of the design decisions on the optimal flow of the user experience. Based on the theory of Situational Awareness...
متن کاملA Behavioral Model for Rich Internet Applications
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are reshaping the way in which the Web works. They change not only the appearance of the Web interfaces, but also the behavior of applications, permitting novel operations, like data distribution, partial page computation, and disconnected work. In this paper we try to understand the differences between the behavior that is considered natural for traditional HT...

متن کاملExtending a Conceptual Modeling Language For Adaptive Web Applications
The complexity of adaptive Web applications (AWA) is increasing almost every day. Besides impacting the implementation phase, this complexity must also be suitably managed while modeling the application. To this end, the paper proposes an approach for AWA called GIWA based on WA-UML (Web Adaptive Unified Modeling Language). This extension defines a set of stereotypes and constraints, which make...
