Abstract

Developing enterprise software or web applications that meet user requirements within time and budget still remains a challenge. The success of these applications mostly depends on how well the user requirements have been captured. The literature shows progress has been made on two fronts; improving ways requirements are captured and increasing interaction between users and developers to detect gaps or miscommunication of requirements early in the lifecycle by using iterative rapid development approaches. This paper presents a Meta-Design paradigm based approach that builds on work already done in the area of Model Driven Web Engineering to address this issue. It includes a Meta-Model of an enterprise web application to capture the requirements and an effective way of generating the application.
