Abstract
Shifting the attention from simple static depicting to dynamical generation of visualizations smart graphics can be seen as the next step in the evolution of presentation techniques. A new field of interest for these techniques is the Web which arises the question of how to adopt this new pattern. Based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm we developed a generic architecture that allows for user interaction, component separation, adaptivity to environment and user needs and dynamic presentations. By introducing a client side presentational logic component the graphic evolves from a simple presentation to an intelligent visualization that valuates data and presents only the result relevant to the user. We consequently introduce the possibility of completely changing the whole presentation including the user interface by adaptation of the valuation basis. Because this is done by the graphic autonomously the server does not have to be contacted. In order to demonstrate our proposed conceptual approach, we implemented a prototype system by using the techniques available in a Web context.
