Generating web applications from process models
Jan Schulz-Hofen, Silvan Tecumseh Golega · 2006
The business process has gained a lot of importance for design and development of software in general and web applications in particular. Moreover, a shift from individual and separate application development to customization of pre-engineered solutions promotes significant reductions in time-to-market and maintenance effort. Applying the concept of process-based software product lines to webdevelopment promises to enable the average business user to generate ready--to--run web applications from comprehensive business process models. This case-study attempts to validate the concepts of Process Family Engineering in a concrete application domain by developing a software generator for process-based web applications for e-business.
