Model-Driven Development of Web Applications
Int. J. on Recent Trends in Engineering and Technology,, 10 (1):
8 (January 2014)Abstract
Over the last few years Model-Driven Development (MDD) has been regarded as
the future of Software Engineering, offering architects the possibility of creating artifacts to
illustrate the design of the software solutions, contributing directly to the implementation of
the product after performing a series of model transformations on them. The model-to-text
transformations are the most important operations from the point of view of the automatic
code generation. The automatic generation or the fast prototyping of applications implies an
acceleration of the development process and a reduction of time and effort, which could
materialize in a noticeable cost reduction. This paper proposes a practical approach for the
model-based development of web applications, offering a solution for the layered and
platform independent modeling of web applications, as well as for the automatic generation
of software solutions realized using the ASP.NET technology.
