Ajaxifying Classic Web Applications

Recently, alpha new Web development technique for creating interactive Web applications, dubbed AJAX, has emerged in response to the limited degree of interactivity in large-grain stateless Web interactions. In this new model, the Web interface is composed of individual components which can be updated/replaced independently, and the client/server communication is based on a delta-communication style of interaction. With the rise of AJAX Web applications classical multi-page Web applications are becoming legacy systems. This research seeks to explore how software engineering techniques can assist in comprehending, analyzing, and restructuring classic Web applications towards AJAX.
