A Model for Business Process Supporting Web Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of e-business applications often suffers from large and incomprehensible specification documents used for communication between the customer and the software supplier. In this paper we describe our research efforts and results to improve this process by replacing an informal graphical/textual model with a formal one allowing rapid prototyping and test case generation. Since our focus is on business process support, the prototype consequently focuses on the navigation dynamics of the future system without considering web page content and style. We started with a model based on the business process modeling language ADONIS supported by the equally named tool. Our current approach uses Harel’s Statechart notation and Artisan Real Time Studio as tool. The use of an executable prototype made it possible to evaluate the system in an very early stage, to simulate it interactively, to generate test sequences and to conduct arbitrary, computer-aided model analyses.

Solving Design Issues in Web Meta-Model Approach to Support End-User Development
End-user development is proposed as a solution to the issues business organisations face when developing web applications to support their business processes. We are proposing a meta-model based development approach to support End-User Development. End-users can actively participate in web application development using tools to populate and instantiate the meta-model. The meta-model has three a...

Today there are many techniques for web service compositions. Evaluation of quality parameters has great impact on evaluation of final product. BPEL is one of those techniques that several researches have been done on its evaluation. However, there are few researches on evaluation of QoS in eflow. This research tries to evaluate performance and reliability of eflow and BPEL through mapping them...
متن کاملModel-driven Construction of Workflow-based Web Applications with Domain-specific Languages
The requirements for Web applications concerning workflow execution, interaction, aesthetics, federation and Web service integration are steadily increasing. Considering their complexity, the development of these “rich workflow-based Web applications” requires a systematic approach taking key factors like strong user involvement and clear business objectives into account. To this end, we presen...
