W3C WIDGETS - A Solution for Implementing Platform-independent Mobile Applications

Abstract

The mobile internet is very heterogeneous at all levels - this is true for end devices as well as for operating systems and runtime environments of mobile applications. Therefore all software providers face the challenge of developing platform-independent applications and making them usable on a maximum number of end devices. One possible way of doing this is provided by Widgets - small software programs with a limited functional scope that are executed by a Widget-engine. This article looks at the state of development of the most important W3C Widget-standards and analyses their prospects of success.
