| Abstract |
|
In web-based applications, the dialog control logic is often
hidden in or entwined with the presentation and/or application
logic, even if the latter tiers are well-separated.
This makes it difficult to control complex dialog structures
like nested dialogs, and to reconcile the device-independent
business logic with the device-specific interaction patterns
required by different clients' I/O capabilities. To avoid continuous
re-implementation of the dialog control logic, we
present a Dialog Control Framework that is separate from
the presentation and business tiers, and manages arbitrarily
nested dialog flows on different presentation channels.
The framework relies on dialog specifications developed using
the Dialog Flow Notation, which are translated into
an object-oriented dialog flow model for efficient run-time
lookups. This way, the framework automates the dialog
control aspect of web-based application development and
leaves only the tasks of implementing the business logic, designing
the hypertext pages, and specifying the dialog flow to the developer.
