• Resumen

  • The development of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) is based on the selection, assembly, and tailoring of Rich-User-Interface (RUI) components. Since RUI component libraries have been widely spreading, the selection of appropriate components has become an essential and complex task. While the user interface design is usually guided by principles, guidelines, and heuristics, there are not artifacts or mechanisms for selecting RUI components in a systematic way. Moreover, there is a lack of homogeneous classification criteria that hinders the selection of components and increases the relevance of the experience designing web applications. To ease the search and choosing of components by web-developers, this paper presents a taxonomy for classifying RUI components. The development of such a taxonomy has been based on both the study of relevant resources from the UI domain and on the opinions of Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs).
