Rich Web Application Backplane
§Create a consistent model for mixed markup authoring and reliable component hook-up
§Reduce duplication and non-interoperability of the same functionality in many markups
§Maximize information flow  among components to address interactivity and responsiveness requirements
§Address accessibility needs of dynamic web content
To begin to address this need for a methodological upgrade, we propose a layer called the “Rich Web Application Backplane” to set a foundation for commonly required capabilities and simplify fully-functional component integration.
This has the potential to…
•Create a consistent model for mixed markup authoring and reliable component hook-up
•Reduce duplication and non-interoperability of the same functionality in many markups
•Maximize information flow  among components to address interactivity and responsiveness requirements. This essentially happens by systematizing the interaction contract between a component and its environment so that components that are supposed to work together never get out of synch with each other.
•Address accessibility needs of dynamic web content, in part by being able to harvest accessibility information from the interaction contract for the component
