A model-driven development approach for WEB report system

According to the theory of model-driven architecture and following the idea of the separation between system applications and UI designs, a development approach for Web report systems is proposed in this paper. This approach is based on the high-level abstraction of system function and user interface, which comprises data modeling, report modeling and code generation. ASP.NET was used as a target platform in the experiment which showed that this approach followed the essence, process and requirements of model-driven architecture, and great improvement of quality and efficiency of Web report system development could be obtained. The approach can make an effective support for model driven software development.

A Semantics-Reconstruction Based Model-Driven Development Approach for Web Information Systems

The size of the gap between source model and target model has a profound impact on the efforts to create mapping rules in model-driven development. Starting from the analysis of semantic consistency requirement of model transformation, a semantics-reconstruction based model mapping approach for web information system development was proposed by abstractly analyzing the syntactic structure and semantic features of modeling languages. Target semantic model is used as an intermediary for disambiguation, and which provides a good basis for the semantic comparison between modeling elements at different abstract levels. This approach can provide an effective support for model driven development because semantic consistency between different level descriptions of the same component model can be ensured. J2EE is used as a target platform to help interpreting the process of using the approach.
