Abstract

A number of Web design problems continue to arise, such as: (1) decoupling the various aspects of Web applications (for example, business logic, the user interface, navigation and information architecture; and (2) isolating platform specifics from the concerns common to all Web applications. In the context of a proposal for a pattern-oriented architecture for Web applications, this paper identifies an extensive list of patterns aimed at providing a pool of proven solutions to these problems. The patterns span several levels of abstraction, from information architecture and interoperability patterns to navigation, interaction, visualization and presentation patterns. The proposed architecture will show how several individual patterns can be combined at different levels of abstraction into heterogeneous structures, which can be used as building blocks in the development of Web applications.
