The special features in this approach include the introduction of service oriented architecture (SOA) for Web application integration, using the model driven development approach with code generation, and agile development process. The component architecture and its framework, together with the infrastructure for development and testing, are also presented. The development approach is called “Gaby Paradigm,” which is explained in the chapter. The architecture, framework, and development process have been applied to a number of projects successfully since 2004.
