“…We use the WebML method [3] and its development support environment [4] for generating the application server-side "backbone". We then integrate such a backbone with UML-Guide [9], a client-side personalization engine that dynamically generates additional interfaces and user guides for personalizing the application's fruition, by managing user profiles and context-sensitive data at client side.…”

In this paper, we integrate WebML, a high-level model and technology for building server-side Web applications, with UML-Guide, a UML-based system that generates client-side guides for the adaptation of Web applications. The combination of the two systems is shown at work on an e-learning scenario: WebML is the basis of the specification of a generic e-learning system, collecting a large number of learning objects, while UML-Guide is used for building company-specific e-learning curricula. The resulting system can be considered an "adaptive hypermedia generator" in full strength, whose potential expressive power goes beyond the experiments reported in this paper.

“…-UML-Guide is based on the use of UML state diagrams, whose nodes and arcsrepresenting states and transitions-are turned into XMI specifications. A client-side translator, written in XSL, turns such specifications into a user interface facilitating the adaptive use of the application [9].…”

“…In this way, the navigation trails can have alternate navigation paths and information chunks constrained by conditions referring to certain user, content, device, or environment features. From user point of view it means that each trail can be adapted by taking into account the user background, level of knowledge, preferences and so on [7].…”

Abstract. The unique characteristic of web applications is that they are supposed to be used by much bigger and diverse set of users and stakeholders. An example application area is e-Learning or business to business interaction. In eLearning environment, various users with different background use the eLearning system to study a discipline. In business to business interaction, different requirements and parameters of exchanged business requests might be served by different services from third parties. Such applications require certain intelligence and a slightly different approach to design. Adpative web-based applications aim to leave some of their features at the design stage in the form of variables which are dependent on several criteria. The resolution of the variables is called adaptation and can be seen from two perspectives: adaptation by humans to the changed requirements of stakeholders and dynamic system adaptation to the changed parameters of environments, user or context. Adaptation can be seen as an orthogonal concern or viewpoint in a design process. In this paper I will discuss design abstractions which are employed in current design methods for web applications. I will exemplify the use of the abstractions on eLearning web applications as well as on applications for business to business interaction based on web services.

“…Statechart diagrams are used in the UML-Guide [6] for modelling user navigation in a hypertext; each state represents the production of a given information chunk on the device observed by a user, and each state transition represents an event caused by user interaction that leads to the production of a new chunk of information. State diagrams therefore provide an abstraction of hypertext trails, where each trail can be adapted by taking into account the user background, level of knowledge, preferences and so on [5,6]. Atomic states, super states, history states, fork and join are additional symbols to describe composition, concurrent execution, remembering, and so on.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new method for designing rich internet applications. The design process uses results from an object-oriented analysis and employs interaction spaces as the basic abstraction mechanism. State diagrams are employed as refinements of interaction spaces and task models to specify synchronization events and follow up actions on the client and server side. The notation is based on UML.
