Application-driven approach for web site development

Abstract

Some Web sites, such as google bookmark, evernote, or online calendar provides, are actually Web-based tools helping users complete their tasks and are regarded to as application-oriented Web sites. Today, the infrastructure support for building such Web sites is poor. What is the best approach to construct application-oriented Web sites? Perhaps some paradigms and generic guidelines will be helpful. In this paper, the researcher proposes preliminary results on some guidelines and infrastructure supports of application-oriented Web sites construction. The proposed solution is based on VWBE, which is the author's previous research result. Several issues such as application interface definition and application state management are addressed in this paper. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
