Cache para fragmentos de GUI utilizando metamodelos interpretados

Abstract

Software Development was always a complex task, since its conception until its validation by the client. Ever since we try to improve the way software is developed, through frameworks, programming languages, libraries and methodologies. In this work we will analyze AOM, an architectural pattern for reflexive systems. This kind of system has an extremely dynamic nature, because changes are reflected instantaneously, in runtime. Due its dynamic nature, it is a challenge to represent data without affecting performance which is a pillar in the user experience. This work’s goal is to propose a caching solution for Web 2.0 user interfaces based on AOM. Also we will analyze caching strategies and how they can be used with meta-architectures. The methodology used was based on a literature review about AOM and Caching, followed by the problem definition, a prototype’s project and implementation and validation through a benchmark. Because it is a GUI cache, the results are visually noticable. They rendering delays are explicit in the prototype that has not cache. The solution showed stable despite the mocked components. We conclude that the use of caches in the view layer represents a huge gain in user experience.
