What is BAT?
Browser-Based Application Tool Kit (BAT) is a Web presentation framework with extendible building blocks for creating a professional, consistent user interface.
How does it work? BAT consists of a set of reusable elements for graphical user interfaces (GUI). The parameters of these elements are set with XML data and packaged with a run-time environment for a server. The BAT framework can be used to rapidly build GUIs that not only mimic business processes, but that implement IBM's standards for accessability and national language enablement.

| | About the technology author(s):
BAT was developed by a team at the IBM Toronto Lab, which holds several world-wide missions for software development.
The team has worked on BAT for several years and has been supporting the efforts of many developers who use it to create GUIs for an industry-leading e-commerce package. All are staff software developers with backgrounds in computer science. The team was recently a finalist in the Lab's awards for 2002 in the "OneTeam" category.
