Conceptual modeling of device-independent Web applications

Ubiquität, Interaktivität, Konvergenz und die Medienbranche

“…See figure 3 for a screenshot of the prototype. Several typical web application patterns (Gómez et al 2001, section 3.2) were discovered with the example application: If larger amounts of information, such as customer data, are to be entered by the user, a guided tour (pages with "previous"/"next" buttons) is appropriate. A shopping cart is also present -the cart is called "reserved items" on the web pages to stress the fact that e.g., a seat on a plane is temporarily "locked" while it is in the set of reserved items.…”

“…The Object-oriented Hypermedia Method is described in Gómez et al (2001); more details on presentational aspects are available in Cachero et al (2000). Creating a web application using OO-H involves creating standard class diagrams and, based on these, navigational access diagrams for each type of user.…”

“…Current Web Engineering approaches such as UWE (UML-based Web Engineering, Koch / Kraus 2002) and OO-H (Object-oriented Hypermedia, Gómez et al 2001) try to offer a complete solution to generate web pages (or assist in their generation), typically providing models for the application logic, navigation structure and the final presentation of the web pages. However, they do not currently offer integrated tool support for the automated or semi-automated usability validation of the websites they create.…”

Design Toolkit for Hypermedia Applications

“…The majority of these implementations have been made with tools such as NetObjects' Fusion or DreamWeaver which allow an automated implementation by contents and an easy set up, but do not pay attention to intrinsic features of hypermedia systems such as sophisticated navigational structures, interactive behaviours and multimedia compositions. Several hypermedia methods and theirs CASE tools have been proposed including Autoweb [4], WebML [1] and OO-H [5]. However, these methods have the following weak points (more details can be found in [6,7]): -Validation and integrity rules to test the correctness, completeness and integrity of the design.…”

WebTE: MDA Transformation Engine for Web Applications

“…In the analysis phase the Web application specification is vertically divided into two viewpoints. On the one side, the functional-perspective is given by the Web functional models provided by approaches such as WebML [2], OO-H [3] or UWE [6]. On the other side, the Subsystem Model (SM) and the Configuration Model (CM) define the software architecture of the Web Application.…”
