Abstract. This paper introduces the S m 4RIA Extension for OIDE, which implements the S m 4RIA approach in OIDE (OOH4RIA Integrated Development Environment). The application, based on the Eclipse framework, supports the design of the S m 4RIA models as well as the model-to-model and model-to-text transformation processes that facilitate the generation of Semantic Rich Internet Applications, i.e., RIA applications capable of sharing data as Linked data and consuming external data from other sources in the same manner. Moreover, the application implements mechanisms for the creation of RIA interfaces from ontologies and the automatic generation of administration interfaces for a previously design application. IntroductionThe development of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) has lead to the improvement of the user interfaces in Web applications increasing the interoperability of their components by means of an event-driven paradigm, and providing an appearance and user experience similar to a desktop interface. Nevertheless, due to technological issues, RIAs act as black boxes that show their contents in a user-friendly manner but complicate the access to the data to some types of Web clients, which require accessibility, such as, the search engines. This drawback is shared both by browser-oriented RIAs, whose data is visualized according to a list of events triggered by users, and plugin-oriented RIAs, which, in addition to being event-driven, are implemented as binary objects whose information can be only visualized using a plug-in specific for each technology and browser. In this context, the S m 4RIA approach (Semantic Models for RIA) [1] introduces a new model-driven methodology, extending OOH4RIA, for the development of Semantic Rich Internet Applications (SRIAs), i.e., a new type of RIA that facilitate the interconnection to external RIA systems and data sources by means of techniques and technologies from the Semantic Web. Specifically, these applications are capable of both sharing their internal data as Linked Data (http://linkeddata.org/) and exploiting data shared by other nodes of the Linked Data cloud.

Abstract-Frame Technology (FT) and Generative Programming (GP) are two widely accepted paradigms of software product lines development. While GP addresses the automatic generation of source code, FT advocates its adaptation to diverse reuse contexts. With an aim to utilize benefits of both approaches, this paper presents the SCT dynamic frames model that supports the automatic generation of Web 2.0 applications. The SCT model encompasses three essential components: Specification (S), which refers to application features, Configuration (C), which describes application development rules, and Template (T), which denotes application building blocks. Owing to its flexibility, readability, interactivity, and other object-oriented features, the Python scripting language was selected for the implementation of the generator. In order to demonstrate the appropriateness and usefulness of the proposed approach, an example that illustrates the generation of a Web 2.0 application for database management is provided.

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.
