Aspect Based Conceptual Modelling of Web Applications

Though there are many Web application modelling approches these are aimed at assiting the implmentaion process. There are many benefits in creating a conceptual model of the Web application to verify whether the application domian requrements have been propery understood. We have developed a way of modelling a web application at a conceptual level based on set of aspects; Overall Presentation, Primary Navigation, Hypertext Model, Process Model and Personalisation Model. We have found that this set of conceptually non-overlapping aspects greatly simplifies the modelling task. We also observed that application domain users found it easy to relate to these aspects and provide feedback on the accuracy of the model.
