Extending UWE to improve Web navigation project - a case study

UWE (UML-based Web engineering) is, according its author, a methodology which provides a systematic approach to model Web applications. It provides an UML extension, defining modeling elements considering the extension mechanisms that are offered by UML, and it defines an authoring process that helps the designers to build the system models which orient developers during the system implementation. UWE is still a new proposal which needs to be experimented to identify its strengths and weaknesses. This research work presents a case study in what a small Web system is modeled using the UWE methodology. Some proposals to improve the building of the system navigation models are also presented through this work.
