Abstract

A computer system includes a UI designer client that runs on a client device and is configured to enable creation of UI models. A client engine runs on a client device and is configured to initiate requests for the UI models, receive the UI models in response to the requests and interpret and render the UI models at runtime. A UI runtime server client is located on a server and is configured to interface with the client engine to receive and process the requests for the UI models from the client engine. A repository is located on the server and is configured to interface with the UI designer client and store the UI models as created using the UI designer client and interface with the UI runtime server client to deliver requested UI models to the UI runtime server client for interpretation and rendering by the client engine.
