Abstract
Web applications have evolved into much complexRich Internet Applications, providing rich features andenhanced user experience. Proper definitions, which deliverabstract realization of the fundamental concepts of the RichInternet Application are still missing. Definitions provideproper understanding of the subject and help in increasing therealization of the characteristics of the same. This paper focuseson conceptually identifying the characteristics of the richcommunication model of the Rich Internet Applications –commonly known as the “Asynchronous Communication” –suggesting a better term “Delta-Communication”, followed by adefinition for it. Based on the definition, we propose a term anda definition for the abstract model of the simplest richcommunication technique, which is exploited in AJAX.Additionally, based on the proposed definition for the richcommunication model, the paper proposes a new term toreplace the term AJAX to overcome the limitations expressedby the term AJAX. These terms and definitions specify andexpress the fundamental characteristics of the abstract conceptsof the rich communication model of the Rich InternetApplications.
