A CONCEPT OF BALANCED-CLIENT FOR RICH INTERNET APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The Rich Internet Applications engineering is marked as complex and difficult, since they lack of architectural formalism. If we can identify the separation of the modules clearly and generalize the architectural structure in Rich Internet Applications, it might increase the realization of the system, hence reduce the complexities and speed up the development too. We propose an architectural structure based on Model-View-Controller pattern, which describes the separation of the logic; and the distribution of the modules and related components; between the client and the server, which we expect to specify as a standard and balanced layout, we name it the “Balanced-client”, referred to the concepts of Thin-client and Thick-client. We expect to incorporate this concept to design a general architectural model for Rich Internet Applications, to provide a good realization, which can addresses the complexities in Rich Internet Applications engineering.
