Abstract

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 evid...

Model-driven development of Web applications
paolo paolini

ACM Transactions on Information Systems, 2000

This paper describes a methodology for the development of WWW applications and a tool environment specifically tailored for the methodology. The methodology and the development environment are based upon models and techniques already used in the hypermedia, information systems, and software engineering fields, adapted and blended in an original mix. The foundation of the proposal is the conceptual design of WWW applications, using HDM-lite, a notation for the specification of structure, navigation, and presentation semantics. The conceptual schema is then translated into a “traditional” database schema, which describes both the organization of the content and the desired navigation and presentation features. The WWW pages can therefore be dynamically generated from the database content, following the navigation requests of the user. A CASE environment, called Autoweb System, offers a set of software tools, which assist the design and the execution of a WWW application, in all its di...

Model-Driven Architecture for Web Applications
Alain Abran

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2007

A number of Web design problems continue to arise, such as: (1) decoupling the various aspects of Web applications (for example, business logic, the user interface, navigation and information architecture; and (2) isolating platform specifics from the concerns common to all Web applications. In the context of a proposal for a model-driven architecture for Web applications, this paper identifies an extensive list of models aimed at providing a pool of proven solutions to these problems. The models span several levels of abstraction such as business, task, dialog, presentation and layout models. The proposed architecture will show how several individual models can be combined at different levels of abstraction into heterogeneous structures, which can be used as building blocks in the development of Web applications.

A Meta-Model for Model-Driven Development of Web Applications
Timothy C Lethbridge

2010

Model-driven development of web applications has acquired much attention in recent years. Model-driven techniques, often transform a high-level input model to lower level models or executable code. This calls for the transformation rules that bridge source and target models. Those models are typically defined based on meta-model(s). A number of abstract models have been proposed for web applications in the past. In this report, we present a meta-model for web applications based on an existing model. We argue that our meta-model is appropriate to be used at an abstract level and could be mapped to multiple platforms. We will also discuss specific features of our meta-model, which affirm its handiness for model-driven development.

An Eclipse Plug-in for Model-Driven Development of Rich Internet Applications
Juan Osuna

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2010

Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) have recently appeared in the Internet market offering a rich and efficient User Interface similar to desktop applications. However, these applications are rather complex and their development requires design and implementation tasks that are time-consuming and error-prone. In this paper, we present a tool called OIDE (OOH4RIA Integrated Development Enviroment) aimed at accelerating the RIAs development through the OOH4RIA approach which establishes a RIA-specific model-driven process.

Applying transformations to model driven development of web applications
Santiago Melia

2005

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. * This research has been partially sponsored by t the Spanish METASIGN (TIN2004-00779).

A model-driven development for GWT-based Rich Internet Applications with OOH4RIA
Oscar Moreno Diaz

2008

Traditionally, Web applications have had great limitations in the usability and interactivity of their user interfaces. To overcome these limitations, a new type of Web applications called Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) has recently appeared providing richer and more efficient graphical components similar to desktop applications. However, RIAs are rather complex and their development requires the designing and implementation tasks which are time-consuming and error-prone. Moreover, RIA development is a new challenge for the Web engineering methodologies requiring their modification and the introduction of other concerns. In this context, we propose a new approach called OOH4RIA which proposes a modeldriven development process that extends OOH methodology. It introduces new structural and behavioural models in order to represent a complete RIA and to apply transformations that reduce the effort and accelerate its development. This RIA will be implemented on the promising Google Web Toolkit (GWT) framework. Eighth International Conference on Web Engineering 978-0-7695-3261-5/08 $25.00

Investigating Model-Driven Architecture for Web-based Interactive Systems
Alain Abran

2008

Decoupling the various aspects of Web applications (for example, business logic, the user interface, navigation and information architecture) and isolating platform specifics from the concerns common to all Web applications are some examples of Web engineering challenges. This paper describes how the principles of the Object Management Group's Model-Driven Architecture can be used to develop Web application, while at the same time ensuring their cross-platform portability and usability. In the Model-Driven Architecture proposed for Web applications, a set of 5 models is identified to provide a pool of proven solutions to these problems. The models span several levels of abstraction, such as Domain, Task, Dialog, Presentation, and Layout. Our proposed architecture shows how these individual models can be combined at different levels into heterogeneous structures which can be used as building blocks in the development of Web applications.

Using established Web Engineering knowledge in model-driven approaches
Ralf Gitzel

Science of Computer Programming, 2007

A lot of research is currently conducted in the field of Model-Driven Development (MDD), especially regarding its applications to specific domains. Another field that enjoys a great amount of popularity is the Web. As a result, one of the domains MDD is applied to quite frequently is that of Web Applications. However, Web Engineering differs significantly from general Software Engineering and a number of well-established non-MDD solutions already exist in that field. This leads to several interesting questions, which have been left unanswered so far. In this paper, we address this shortcoming by analyzing whether the problems encountered in the field of Web Engineering can really be solved with MDD approaches. We also answer the questions whether MDD will be able to solve these problems better and/or cheaper than traditional Web Engineering approaches and whether the current Web MDD propositions live up to this potential. While answering these questions, we will show that there exists a great synergy between the two groups and that the success of MDD in the Web domain will depend on exploiting the strengths of both.

Model-Driven Approach to develop Rich Web Applications
Daniel Bonhaure

Clei Electronic Journal, 2018

Many Web applications offer 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 code based on HTML5, Javascript, jQuery, jQuery Datatables and jQuery UI to be generated. 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.

A New Approach for Web Engineering Based on Model Driven Architecture
vivek tonger

This paper presents an approach for Web Engineering based on Model-Driven architecture. This approach proposes an UML-based web modeling method and a systematic development process for developing Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). The process begins with a requirements analysis to final implementation and covers the Computation-Independent Model (CIM), Platform-Independent Models (PIM), Platform-Specific Models (PSM) and the transformation rules between each model. This approach defines a UML Profile for modeling this specific domain. This profile extends from Web Application Extensions to modeling the concept of RIAs. In addition, we develop a tool named "WAE2CODE" for generating the code template from PSM. It can parse the class diagrams and sequence diagrams drawn by MagicDraw, representing the static and dynamic concept of the system separately. We then translate these diagrams to code templates automatically. As a result of transforming these models within differing levels of abstract concern about a system which the Model-Driven Development desires, the stakeholder can build a complex web application in an efficient way.

A Model-Driven Engineering Approach for Defining Rich Internet Applications
Vicente Pelechano

Technologies, Business, and Social Applications, 2010

Web 2.0 applications emphasize the end-user involvement to provide the content. In this new scenario, an easy to use and a highly interactive user interface (UI) is a key requirement in order to appeal the end-user. The main objective of this chapter is to introduce a model-driven engineering process to create rich Internet applications (RIA) that address the requirements that a Web 2.0 application must fulfill. To achieve this goal, an interaction model made up of two complementary models is proposed: On the one hand, an abstract interaction model, which clearly defines the interactions between the user and the system and on the other hand, a concrete RIA interaction model that specifies the semantics needed to accurately define RIA for the Web 2.0 domain. Both models are introduced inside a model-driven code generation process with the aim of producing a fully functional Web 2.0 application. To illustrate the contribution of this chapter, the approach is applied in a case study related to the Web 2.0 domain.
