Abstract

Using the event-driven programming style of JavaScript to develop the concurrent and highly interactive clientside of Web 2.0 applications is showing more and more shortcomings in terms of engineering properties such as reusability and maintainability. Additional libraries, frameworks, and AJAX techniques do not help reduce the gap between the single-threaded JavaScript model and the concurrency needs of applications. We specialise the model in the context of client-side Web development, by characterising common domain agents and artifacts that form an extension of an existing programming framework. Finally, we design and implement a simple but significant case study to showcase the capabilities of the model and verify the feasibility of the technology.
