Abstract

This paper presents the Object-Oriented Web-Solutions Modeling approach (OOWS), which provides mechanisms to deal with the development of hypermedia information systems and e-commerce applications in web environments. It is proposed as an extension of an object-oriented method for automatic code generation based on conceptual models (OO-Method). The main contribution of this work is the introduction of a navigational model that is completely embedded in the process of conceptual modeling, to specify navigational features as a main part of what is conventionally specified during the conceptual modeling process. This navigational model provides abstraction primitives that allow to capture and represent navigational semantics in a precise way. We show how to put into practice the OOWS approach through a successful practical example developed within the context of e-commerce applications.
