Hello, allow me to highlight the tech paper titled "The Carousel Architecture". What is Carousel? Carousel is a development platform built on the open-source XUI framework. XUI's core functionality provides for user-interface construction and data abstraction. Carousel extends this core functionality to include database access, remote communications and service support. Carousel also adds many features to XUI to assist in rapid application-development and delivery.
