Web Interface Development Environment (WIDE): Software Tool for Automatic Generation of Web Application Interfaces

Using web applications has become a common solution to access and manipulate information remotely. Platform and device independency can be achieved most efficiently using matured web standards. By combining available standards and web technology, complex interactive web applications can be created. However, building even basic web applications is limited to expert software developers. Even though end-users have a desire to create one, the hurdle to learn and combine multiple technologies altogether is often too high for their needs and skills. In this paper we present WIDE, a new software application designed to assists end-users develop web applications visually and thus minimize their efforts.
