Key research themes
1. How can user interface design and interaction architectures optimize usability and performance in web applications?
This research theme investigates the development and design of user interfaces (UI) for web applications, emphasizing how UI architectures, markup languages, and frameworks can enhance user interaction, application flexibility, and performance despite the constraints of the web environment. Understanding UI design is critical because the web's stateless, distributed nature challenges delivering responsive and intuitive user experiences comparable to desktop applications.
2. What business models and technological architectures enable scalable and innovative web apps in modern enterprises?
This theme explores how web applications underpin new business models, especially driven by open innovation, cloud computing, and Web 2.0/3.0 technologies. It covers how web-based services are changing organizational practices, enabling small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to leverage low-code platforms, cloud infrastructure, and data-driven decision support systems to rapidly deploy scalable web apps that foster collaboration and competitive advantage.
3. How are emerging technologies like Augmented Reality, Semantic Web, and machine learning integrated within web applications to enhance domain-specific functionalities?
This research area focuses on the innovative integration of advanced technologies such as Web Augmented Reality (WebAR), Semantic Web ontologies, and machine learning into web applications to extend their capabilities beyond traditional scopes. It examines both methodological tools and application contexts where such technologies facilitate interactive visualization, knowledge representation, automated decision support, and specialized domain uses such as medical imaging or education.
