“…The navigational aspects of a Web application are described in a navigational model. The navigational model [2] is represented by a directed graph (which defines the navigational structure) whose nodes are navigational contexts and its arcs denote navigational links. A navigational context (represented by an UML package stereotyped with the «context» keyword) defines a view on the class diagram that allows us to specify an information recovery.…”

Abstract. Although MDA defines each stage for building software from models, it does not specify any concrete technique. In this sense, in the Web applications development, little methodological support is provided to both define and apply model to model transformations. In this work, we present a strategy based on graph transformations in order to define and to automatically apply model to model transformations. This strategy has been used to automate the OOWS CIM to PIM transformation.

“…In WSDM [16], the process design is driven by the user requirements and is based on the ConcurTaskTrees notation. An alternative approach is proposed by Torres and Pelechano [15], where BPM and OOWS [5] combines to model process-centric applications; model-to-model transformations are used to generate the Navigational Model from the BPM definition and model-to-text transformations can produce an executable process definition in WS-BPEL.

Abstract. This paper presents WebRatio BPM, an Eclipse-based tool that supports the design and deployment of business processes as Web applications. The tool applies Model Driven Engineering techniques to complex, multi-actor business processes, mixing tasks executed by humans and by machines, and produces a Web application running prototype that implements the specified process. Business processes are described through the standard BPMN notation, extended with information on task assignment, escalation policies, activity semantics, and typed dataflows, to enable a two-step generative approach: first the Process Model is automatically transformed into a Web Application Model in the WebML notation, which seamlessly expresses both human-and machine-executable tasks; secondly, the Application Model is fed to an automatic transformation capable of producing the running code. The tool provides various features that increase the productivity and the quality of the resulting application: one-click generation of a running prototype of the process from the BPMN model; fine-grained refinement of the resulting application; support of continuous evolution of the application design after requirements changes (both at business process and at application levels).

“…In the design phase, different kinds of models are used (cf. [Fons et al 2003]) (W.Ph): On the content level, the information is captured using the structural model, i.e., a UML-like class diagram, just like in OO-Method. In addition, UML state and sequence diagrams can be used to describe behavioral aspects and represent the dynamic model in OOWS (W.L).…”

PurposeUbiquitous web applications (UWA) are a new type of web applications which are accessed in various contexts, i.e. through different devices, by users with various interests, at anytime from anyplace around the globe. For such full‐fledged, complex software systems, a methodologically sound engineering approach in terms of model‐driven engineering (MDE) is crucial. Several modeling approaches have already been proposed that capture the ubiquitous nature of web applications, each of them having different origins, pursuing different goals and providing a pantheon of concepts. This paper aims to give an in‐depth comparison of seven modeling approaches supporting the development of UWAs.Design/methodology/approachThis methodology is conducted by applying a detailed set of evaluation criteria and by demonstrating its applicability on basis of an exemplary tourism web application. In particular, five commonly found ubiquitous scenarios are investigated, thus providing initial insight into the modeling concepts of each approach as well as to facilitate their comparability.FindingsThe results gained indicate that many modeling approaches lack a proper MDE foundation in terms of meta‐models and tool support. The proposed modeling mechanisms for ubiquity are often limited, since they neither cover all relevant context factors in an explicit, self‐contained, and extensible way, nor allow for a wide spectrum of extensible adaptation operations. The provided modeling concepts frequently do not allow dealing with all different parts of a web application in terms of its content, hypertext, and presentation levels as well as their structural and behavioral features. Finally, current modeling approaches do not reflect the crosscutting nature of ubiquity but rather intermingle context and adaptation issues with the core parts of a web application, thus hampering maintainability and extensibility.Originality/valueDifferent from other surveys in the area of modeling web applications, this paper specifically considers modeling concepts for their ubiquitous nature, together with an investigation of available support for MDD in a comprehensive way, using a well‐defined as well as fine‐grained catalogue of more than 30 evaluation criteria.
