Abstract

More interactivity with better usability in Web Systems requires the development of user interface components with interaction techniques that are more powerful and popular among the users such as the WIMP style. This work presents the XICL, a markup language to describe the user interface and its components. This language defines a description format and a semantic model that standardizes components programming and increase reuse, extension and portability. We also present the XICL Studio, a development environment composed of an editor, a component library and a compiler. Our proposal is based only in recommended technologies and free software.
