UML-Based Modeling of Data-oriented WEB Applications

Abstract: Recently a growing demand has arisen for methods for the development of smalland medium scale Web Information Systems (WIS). Web applications are being built in a rapidly changing environment where requirements are usually unstable. Short-time design and implementation are needed in response to the new technologies. Our work focuses rather on the design and construction of Web applications, than management. Flexibility is a major requirement in such applications, and also in a database-backed environment for the structure and presentation of the sites. We propose a systematic design method for Web applications which takes into account the data-oriented aspects of the application. The method is based on a UML profile adapted to the problem domain by means of stereotypes as well as a strategy for generating code templates from such models. We provide a method to derive the navigation model from the structural model of a Web application. We will also show guidelines for the deve...
