Integrating REST with RIA-Bus for Efficient Communication and Modularity in Rich Internet Applications

Abstract

Rich Internet Applications give a rich set of features and an enhanced user experience, but the engineering of Rich Internet Applications comes with complexities, mainly due to poor realization caused by the lack of architectural formalism. If we can realize the architectural properties of Rich Internet Applications well, it might reduce the engineering complexities and the development of Rich Internet Applications may too offer a good experience. In this paper we discuss enhancing the structure and modularity of our proposed concept RIABus, by integrating the customized version of the REST style. We expect to evolve this hybrid style further to come up with an abstract architectural style for Rich Internet Applications.
