UWE – An Approach for the Model-Driven Development of Web Applications

Keywords: Webanwendungen, MDD, Modellierung, Modelltransformationen, UML-Profil

The UML-based Web Engineering (UWE) approach supports the model-driven development of Web systems. The UWE notation is tailored for an intuitive modelling of Web applications. UWE comprises a development process and tool support for semi-automatic construction of Web applications. UWE models make early validation possible. One of the distinguishing features of UWE is its compliance with standards. Modelling with UWE is based on UML and a UML extension – a so-called UML profile. The UWE profile is defined as a conservative extension of the UML metamodel. Metamodelling and conformance with standards enable the use of existing tools or the development of plug-ins for tools already in use. The UWE process applies the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) principles to the development of Web applications focusing on models and model transformations.
