REST Inspired Partitioning with a JavaScript Middleware

Interaction & User Interface Work Package participated in the 1st International Workshop on Web Service Engineering, held in association with International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE 2010), presenting the paper "REST Inspired Partitioning with a JavaScript Middleware" by Janne Kuuskeri and Tommi Mikkonen.

The Web has become a commonly used programming environment for a number of types of applications, and to a great extent, applications that would have formerly been implemented as desktop systems are now run inside the browser. Numerous approaches have been proposed for application development on the Web, but it is not obvious how the different approaches fit together. In this paper, the authors introduce a middleware platform intended for composing JavaScript applications. When using the middleware applications are implemented solely using JavaScript in a fashion, where the client side of applications runs inside the browser, whereas the server side gains advantage from a newly emerged activity, CommonJS.
