Overview

The main focus of the UWE approach is to provide a

• UML-based domain specific modelling language,
• model-driven methodology,
• tool support for the systematic design, and
• tool support for the (semi-)automatic generation of Web applications.

UWE's notation is defined as a "lightweight" extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) providing a so called UML Profile for the Web domain.

Furthermore, UWE provides tool support for the design of models, model consistency checks, and semi-automatic generation of Web systems. ArgoUWE (ArgoUML) and MagicUWE (MagicDraw) are plugins which support the notation of the UWE profile and transformations to assist the designer's work. For the semi-automatic generation of Web applications different approaches were implemented and are currently under evaluation. These approaches are based on ATL and graph-transformations.
