> There are many challenges that software developers face during the
> development of complex User Interfaces (UI). Desired behaviour may be
> autonomous or reactive, and possibly real-time. Each UI component may be
> required to exhibit a radically different behaviour from that of any other
> component, and the behaviour of components may be inter-related. These
> complex behavioural relationships between components are often difficult to
> express, and are even more difficult to encode and maintain.
> A solution may be found in Model-Driven Engineering. In particular,
> Statecharts, a formalism for describing complex, state-based behaviour, is
> well-suited for describing certain kinds of UI behaviour.
> At the same time, the "Open Web" is becoming increasingly popular as a
> platform for application development. Applications may be built using a suite
> of technologies implemented in modern web browsers. In particular, the
> JavaScript language is used to implement interactivity and dynamic behaviour
> in UI objects. It is thus possible to create browser-based applications that
> are richly interactive. These applications are typically called Rich Internet
> Applications (RIAs).
> SCXML is a human-readable XML application for describing Statecharts. An
> SCXML-to-JavaScript compiler, then, would allow developers of RIAs to use
> Statecharts to describe and implement the behaviour of their UIs, which would
> thus make it easier to develop RIAs with complex behaviour requirements.
> Furthermore, in order to allow developers to better comprehend the dynamic
> behaviour described by their statechart, it would be useful to provide a tool
> that may generate graphical depictions of statecharts from SCXML input
> documents, which may then be animated in response to live user interface
> events.
