Visual modeling of ReActive web applications

Abstract

In our previous research we have proposed a new high-level model for the specification of Web applications that takes into account the way in which users interact with the application in order to actively react and supply appropriate contents or gather profile data. In this context, we have realized a proper execution framework to develop ReActive Web applications specified by means of the novel modeling paradigm. In this paper we discuss an e-learning case study implemented using our framework and introduce the visual design tools we have extended and developed in order to support the development of ReActive Web applications. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
