A novel approach for generating multi-device Rich Internet Applications

Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) Engineering is an emerging area of Software Engineering which lacks the development approaches and tools for support. The demand for RIAs is driven by the increase in the development of cloud-based applications. The aim of this paper is to present a process for source code generation of multi-device RIAs that complements the Phases Process for RIAs Development (PPRD). As a salient contribution, our proposal covers multi-device applications in comparison with other approaches where they are focused on software modeling allowing the code generation in a semi-automatically way. In order to validate our proposal, we have generated a set of cloud services APIs-based multi-device RIAs.
