Comparison Matrix for Web HCI

View tier is one of the three basic layers of any web based application designed using the common MVC pattern. From the end user point of view, the whole application is seen from this layer. During the project development process, View seems to be the most time and effort consuming part (almost 80% of the whole process), and that is true because of its fundamental role which covers everything related to the conversation workflow with the end user. Today, there are a lot of available web presentation technologies and frameworks that all aim at facilitating the construction of View tier, such as: Apache Tapestry, Apache Struts, JSF, Microsoft ASP.NET, Ajax and others. The goal of this paper is to determine criteria which enable the comparison of these technologies and frameworks, and applying it on Apache Struts, JSF, Ajax and eliXir presentation tier.
