An Approach to Support the Web User Interfaces Evolution

Currently, there is a growing group of Web 1.0 applications that is migrating towards Web 2.0 where their data and business logic could be maintained but their User Interface (UI) must be adapted. Our proposal facilitates the adaptation of existing Web 1.0 applications to Web 2.0, focusing on UIs and taking advantage of functionality already provided by legacy Web Models. In this paper we present, as an example, how to adapt applications already modelled with WebML to RUX-Model, a method that allows designing rich UIs for multi-device Web 2.0 UIs. One of our main goals in attending the workshop is discussing other potential adaptations for applications modelled with OOHDM, UWE or OO-H among others.
