Abstract:

The complexity of present computing systems has led the research communities to find new ways of designing and managing systems and services. Use of available technology and recent development in terms of concepts, as the asynchronous communication, have produced a new generation of web applications: Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). The current study focuses on the challenges of using the latest RIAs modeling and development tools for building modern web software. A comparison between different RIAs solutions and a model-driven design approach to RIAs is provided.
