Applying Transformations to Model Driven Development of Web Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, the maturity reached by the Web engineering research community can be assessed by the myriad of web design methods that have proven successful for the specification of the functional and navigational requirements posed by Web information systems. However, these proposals often fail to address architectural features, which results in Web specifications with rigid architectures, with no regard for their actual circumstances of use. To overcome this limitation, we propose a generic approach called WebSA. WebSA is based on the MDA (Model-driven Architecture) paradigm. It proposes a Model Driven Development made up of a set of UML architectural models and QVT transformations as mechanisms to integrate the functional aspects of the current methodologies with the architectural aspects. In order to illustrate our approach, in this paper we combine WebSA with the OO-H method to tackle the design of the well known J2EE Petstore specification.

Assessment of Effort Reduction due to Model-to-Model Transformations in the Web Domain
Model-driven engineering (MDE) approaches provide the well-known advantage of software development at a higher level of abstraction. However, in the web engineering domain such approaches still encounter difficulties mainly due to applications that are continuously evolving and the heterogeneity of web technologies. Instead of fully automated generation, we look at MDE as assisting the web engi...
متن کاملModel-Driven Web Development for Multiple Platforms
Model-driven development of web applications relies on the definition of the mappings that transform high-level models to models of specific web platforms. Thus, the transformations are often platform-specific and may not be used for more than one platform. The current web, however, is a heterogeneous network of different technologies and it often happens that one specific application needs to ...

Rule languages and inference engines incorporate reasoning capabilities to Web information systems. This paper presents an approach for the specification and development of Web applications performing the usual functionalities of data management and incorporating a rule engine for reasoning capabilities. The proposed approach is based on the definition of a high-level representation of the sema...
متن کاملMDA Transformations Applied to Web Application Development
Current Web generation techniques are mainly hard-coded for predefined architectures of Web applications. Consequently, there is a gap between Web design models and the final implementation. We solve this problem, following with our approach the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) principles of automatic generation of software systems based on model transformations. In this context, we present a tr...

Web engineering research community has proposed several web design methods that have proven successful for the specification of the functional and navigational requirements posed by Web information systems. However, the architectural features are often ignored in the design process. This situation causes Web applications with rigid and predefined architectures depending on the Web design method...
