A Model-Driven Method for the Development of Web Applications User Interaction Layer

In the context of Web applications, the interaction between the user and the system is critical. However, the emphasis of software process is usually on the functionality, whereas the user interaction layer is often considered of minor relevance. This paper presents an approach aimed at the specification of the layer that captures the interaction of the user with the system, through the derivation of analysis abstract models into design models. These models shall then be used as input to source code generation, in the implementation discipline, using a tool integrated to an IDE.
