An Asynchronous Meta-Data Driven Web UI for Pricing of Structured Products

Abstract: In the process of building maintainable and customizable software used and displayed in different mediums, a user interface (UI) that is auto-generated from meta-data can be built. That way minimal effort can be made when customizing the software. This thesis took place at the financial software company SunGard. Traders have requested a web based solution to one of SunGard's financial softwares, and will be used for managing structured products. The solution had to work with some already defined web and server components that SunGard is using. The web tool used for making a prototype and evaluating the suitability was AngularJS. As a result it was found that it was possible to create a meta-data driven UI. Some programmatic design issues when generating the UI are discussed.
