About this book: Form-based applications range from simple Web shops to
complex enterprise resource planning systems. Draheim and Weber adapt
well-established basic modeling techniques in a novel way to achieve a
modeling framework optimized for this broad application domain. They
introduce new modeling artifacts, such as page diagrams and form
storyboards, and separate dialogue patterns to allow for reuse. In their
implementation they have developed new constructs such as typed server
pages, and tools for forward and reverse engineering of presentation
layers. The methodology is explained using an online bookshop as a
running example, in which the user can experience the modeling concepts
in action. The combination of theoretical achievements and hands-on
practical advice and tools makes this book a reference work for both
researchers in the areas of software architectures and submit-response
style user interfaces, and professionals designing and developing such
applications. More information and additional material is available online.
