A REVIEW AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PRESENTATION PATTERNS

Abstract

Patterns provide common solutions, which are tested and verified, for the architecture, design and implementation of business applications. There exist a number of well-documented and verified patterns that aid the resolving of problems inherent to the presentation layer of an application. Differences among these patterns result from the manner in which the concerns, associated with the functionality of the presentation layer, are separated into components, as well as the interaction between these components. This paper presents a review and comparative analysis of the most frequently applied Presentation Patterns, with the intention of facilitating the selection of the best-suited pattern for designing the presentation layer of an application.
