Automatic Display Layout in WebML: a Web Engineering Approach

In this paper we present an approach for the Automatic Display Layout of Web applications based on the WebML modeling language. The WebML development method is model-driven: its conceptual models contain several elements that can be exploited for defining a procedure for the automatic displacement of page contents. In this paper we describe the development life cycle of our Web Engineering approach and, focussing on the presentation design and on its layout, we highlight which aspects of the Human Computer Interaction approaches are implicitly considered.
