Information Modeling for Internet Applications considers the fundamentals of web site modeling. It gives theoretical background as well as practical modeling techniques, which assist in the planning and development of web sites, other collections of hyperdocument and web-based information systems in general. Besides the modeling of page structures, navigation paths, and presentation functions, this will help to perform a variety of additional tasks, such as adaptation to user groups.

“Web Engineering: Modelling and Implementing Web Applications” presents the state of the art approaches for obtaining a correct and complete Web software product from conceptual schemas, represented via well-known design notations. Describing mature and consolidated approaches to developing complex applications, this edited volume is divided into three parts and covers the challenges web application developers face; design issues for web applications; and how to measure and evaluate web applications in a consistent way. With contributions from leading researchers in the field this book will appeal to researchers and students as well as to software engineers, software architects and business analysts.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Unified Modeling Language, UML 2004, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 2004. The 30 revised full papers presented together with summaries on the workshops and tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 135 technical paper submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on metamodeling, aspects, profiles and extensions, OCL, model transformation, verification and model consistency, security, and methodology.

This work includes the papers presented in the 12th European-Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases. Topics of research in this conference included the theory and practice of information modelling, conceptual modelling, and design and specification of information systems.

Market_Desc: Undergraduate and graduate students on Computing and Internet related degrees; web software developers, web designers and project managers Special Features: Defines an important new vocational discipline, popular with students" Offers teachers a viable alternative to teaching outmoded software engineering (a market of 100,000+ students)" Covers business aspects, market drivers and site design reflecting interdisciplinary influences on web application development" Complements existing technology-oriented books with an engineering approach About The Book: This book seeks to motivate students in this new discipline, using concepts, methods, techniques and tools to demonstrate how to design, implement and test web applications. The book also demonstrates the distinctions between software engineering and web engineering: The shorter lead times that Web Engineering has compared to its software counterpart; whilst demonstrating the rapid prototyping and agile methods of development needed to meet these criteria. Web Engineering also features a constant focus on interactivity, with a far greater emphasis on multimedia than its software counterpart. The book highlights the importance of the HCI and interface aspects of Web Engineering, and their importance to the visual nature of the medium.Yet the text also also highlights the need to examine and re-use the body of knowledge found within Software Engineering. This book demonstrates how to use that knowledge within the web environment, in order to achieve a highly disciplined and methodical means of producing web based software.
