“…Other proposals decided to add architectural specific information at the PSM level. In this case, architecture and platform details are included at the same modeling level, loosing portability at the architectural level with respect to different technologies where it can be implemented (e.g., UWA for RIA [27]).…”

Many Web applications have among their features the possibility of distributing their data and their business logic between the client and the server, also allowing an asynchronous communication between them. These features, originally associated with the arrival of Rich Internet Applications (RIA), remain particularly relevant and desirable. In the area of RIA, there are few proposals that simultaneously consider these features, adopt Model-Driven Development (MDD), and use implementation technologies based on scripting. In this work, we start from MoWebA, an MDD approach to web application development, and we extend it by defining a specific architecture model with RIA functionalities, supporting the previously mentioned features. We have defined the necessary metamodels and UML profiles, as well as transformation rules that allow you to generate code based on HTML5, Javascript, jQuery, jQuery Datatables and jQuery UI. The preliminary validation of the proposal shows positive evidences regarding the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the users with respect to the modeling and code generation processes of the proposal.

“…Otras propuestas decidieron añadir información específica sobre la arquitectura a nivel del PSM. En este caso, arquitectura y detalles de la plataforma se incluyen en el mismo nivel de modelado (el PSM), perdiendo éste portabilidad a nivel arquitectónico con respecto a las diferentes tecnologías donde se puede implementar (por ejemplo, UWA para RIA [30]).…”

In the scenery of web engineering methodologies [1] [2], there is a current trend on following the Model-Driven Development (MDD) approach [3], adopting the Model-Driven Architecture (MDA). In MDA, model transformations are essential. Thus, instead of directly generate the code from the conceptual model (model-to-text transformation), the conceptual models, i.e. Platform Independent Models (PIMs), are translated to one or more Platform Specific Models (PSMs) by means of model-tomodel (M2M) transformations. Subsequently, PSMs are translated into code by means of model-to-text (M2T) transformation techniques.One of the strategies that MDA promotes to facilitate changeability and portability of the conceptual model is the prescription of the PIM separated from the PSM. However, in practice, current web methodologies tend to cope with architectural evolution trends by extending their modeling notations directly at the PIM level (e.g., WebML RIA [4], UWE for RIA [5], OOH4Ria [6], among others). MDD proposals for mobile applications development also follow this landscape. Examples of this are WebRatio [3], MD2 [7], MobiCloud [8], among others. Such extension usually results in an enriched PIM that includes characteristics and constraints of a certain specific architecture or platform. The enriched PIMs are obtained either by adding marks (but without considering this as a marked PIM), or by adding new entire models, or even by adding new elements in the PIM notation. Although it could be argued that after extending a PIM to support a specific architecture it is no longer a PIM, but a PSM, in general, the literature does not analyze this distinction.The problem is that this tendency of adapting the PIM to specific architectures goes against the principle of the PIM portability promoted by MDA. The enriched PIM loses part of its independence from the architecture/platform, and becomes increasingly more complex to understand and manage. The consequence is a loss of portability and reusability of the conceptual models.A complementary portability problem arises when web methodologies tend to enrich the PSM with architectural details, since the same architecture can be implemented in different platforms (e.g., the RIA architecture can be implemented in Backbase, Dojo, GWT, jQuery, among others). In this case, the problem is not concerning the conceptual model, but it requires for the same architecture multiple PSMs according to the different implementation platforms.To preserve the independence of the PIM and the portability of models towards different architectures, some authors have already proposed the introduction of an Architectural Specific Model (ASM) (e.g., [9], [10]). The ASM allows details related to the architecture to be moved out from the problem space (PIM) to an intermediate vii model in the solution space (ASM), avoiding the PIM from containing such details and contributing to its so desired portability. Moreover, the ASM model can result in different PSM models, one per each implementation platform.In this w...
