Abstract
Data-driven systems and applications are specialized software solutions for acquisition, management, and presentation of information. These systems are usually developed using the same software tools, technologies, and processes used for creating any other type of software. Not only is this approach inefficient, but also it results in extreme redundancies due to the inherently repetitive nature of these applications. However, data-driven systems exhibit characteristics which can be exploited for extensive reuse across a single application or a family of applications. In this paper, we present XPage, an architectural style which is especially designed for building data-driven systems. We also provide several case studies from real-world deployments of XPage to help evaluate its efficiency and flexibility for developing real-world solutions.
