Developing web applications for different architectures: The MoWebA approach

Abstract

This study presents the Architecture Specific Model (ASM) defined by the MoWebA approach to improve the development of web applications for different architectures. MoWebA is a model-driven approach to web applications development. The article presents a general overview of MoWebA, including the methodological aspects related to its modeling and transformation processes, the process of defining the ASM, and an example of an ASM model. We finally present a preliminary validation experience and its main results. The experience was structured according to the proposal of Runeson et al. for case studies.
