Model Transformations from Requirements to Web System Design

Abstract

Requirements models are used to specify system functionalities from the customer viewpoint and are the starting point of software development. However, most Web engineering approaches do not provide a systematic method to build design models from requirements specification. We propose an approach using model transformations to close this gap. Our transformation rules are defined in the QVT language – a forthcoming OMG standard, which makes automatic model generation possible. This way design is kept consistent with the customer requirements.
