(Supervisor C Schallhart)

Web pages are the past since interactive web application interfaces have reshaped the online world. With all their feature richness, they enrich our personal online experience and provide some great new challenges for research. In particular, forms became much complex in assisting the user during the _lling, e.g., with completion options, or through structuring the form _lling process by dynam-ically enabling or hiding form elements. Such forms are a very interesting research topic but their complexity prevented so far the establishment of a corpus of modern forms to benchmark di_erent tools dealing with forms automatically. This MSC project will _ll this gap in building a corpus of such forms: Based on a number of production sites from one or two domains, we will build our corpus of web interfaces, connected to a (shared) database. Not only will the future evaluations in the DIADEM project rely on this corpus, but we will also publish the corpus { promoting it as a common benchmark for the research community working on forms. Knowledge in Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and web application development are required.
