Abstract

An important aspect of Web 2.0, mentioned by Tim O’Reilly, is the rich user experience. Web 2.0 applications offer the user a desktop-like interface to bring back efficiency and productivity. The click-wait-andrefresh- cycle of normal Web applications leads to a less responsive, and thus less efficient, user interface. To serve the needs of these so-called rich Internet applications (RIA), many different approaches have emerged, based either on Web standards or on proprietary approaches. This chapter aims at defining a qualified criterion system for comparing RIA platforms. Thereafter, those RIA platforms are selected and analyzed in terms of the criterion system that is most likely to become widely accepted.
