Abstract concepts: A contemporary requirement for Rich Internet Applications engineering

Abstract

Rich Internet Applications are very advanced and complex systems, and for their development there are numerous tools, frameworks, libraries, techniques, and technologies are available. The underplaying concepts of the Rich Internet Applications are still have not been defined well, and the tools, frameworks, or libraries do not improve these underlying concepts; instead they might use their own forms of the concepts. If we can understand the abstract fundamental concepts of Rich Internet Applications, we can gain some advantages like: increased realization, knowledge sharing, and lower learning curves. These aspects have not being much discussed or researched within the domain; therefore, we attempt to pinpoint the importance of having abstract concepts for Rich Internet Applications engineering, as a contemporary requirement. This knowledge will help to look at the researching in Rich Internet Application engineering in a different perspective, and will lead to introduce abstract concepts, for Rich Internet Applications.
