A Requeriments Metamodel for Rich Internet Appplications

Abstract

The evolution of the Web has motivated the development of several Web design approaches to support the systematic building of Web software. Together with the constant technological advances, these methods must be constantly improved to deal with a myriad of new feasible application features. In this paper we focus on the field of Rich Internet Applications (RIA); specifically we aim to offer a solution for the treatment of Web Requirements in RIA development. For this aim we present WebRE+, a requirements metamodel which incorporates RIA features into the modelling repertoire. We illustrate our ideas with a meaningful example of a business intelligence application.
