Abstract

This work presents the XICL Studio 2, a prototype tool to component-based Web systems user interface development. The XICL Studio 2 allows user interface development from a library of reusable components. The designer develops the user interface in a direct and visual way by moving components to the editor area and changing their properties. The user interface components are described in the XICL language that was developed to the implementation, reuse and extension of web user interface components. The resulting UI are codified in DHTML languages, which provides portability and low-cost. DHTML is also a recommended Web technology. The XICL Studio 2 is a browser-based software and is also implemented in DHTML.
