Presentation: "The Model-View-Controller (MVC), Its Past and Present"
Monday 14:00 - 14:45, Public Room
MVC was conceived in 1978 as the design solution to a particular problem. The top level goal was to support the user's mental model of the relevant information space and to enable the user to inspect and edit this information.
The first part of the talk describes the original problem and discusses the chosen solution.
The second part elaborates the original ideas and extends the scope to include current day challenges to the original goal. We examine some ideas related to MVC that are found in the literature and select those that appear to be particularly relevant to the top level goal.
The third and final part summarizes it all in a condensed and coherent MVC pattern language.
