The document describes an MDV framework for building web applications called Adstream. It was developed internally by Adstream Holdings and is available under a BSD license. The framework separates concerns between the frontend and backend with a clear division of model, view, and controller roles. The model uses a virtual object layer and REST mapping. The view layer uses the dojox.jtlc template engine. Controllers are implemented with plain Dojo and handle application flow and connecting the model and view. An example forum application built with the framework is also mentioned.
