Evolution of Push-Communication Towards the Rich Web-Based Applications

Abstract

Push Communication is an integral requirement in modern RichWebbased Applications, to implement the features like push notifications or real-time updates. Aspects like push-communication related concepts and their development technologies – focusing on the roots of them and the rationale behind their advancements – are not collectively discussed in any available forum. An intensive literature survey was conducted on identifying the very roots of the push-communication and its evolution towards understanding the abstract architectural formalism of the push-communication in Rich Web-based Applications, also focusing on the aforementioned aspects. We collected and documented the literature regarding the evolution of the push-communication, for archiving and also for reviewing and comparing the reasoning behind the improvements of them over time. We also tried to capture the knowledge to answer some important questions like is push-communication important and how difficult to integrate push-communication into the Rich Web-based Applications? We expect to study the artefacts identified through the survey to identify the abstract characteristics of the push-communication to realize the integration of the push-communication into the Rich Web-based Applications in the form of Delta-Communication.
