Abstract

Today web application development is under the pressure of evolving business needs, compressed timelines, and limited resources. These dynamics demand a streamlined set of tools that turns concepts into reality and minimises the gap between the original business requirements and the final physical implementation of the web application. This paper will demonstrate how this gap can be reduced by the integration of two techniques, KCPM (Klagenfurt Predesign Conceptual Model) and SBO (Smart Business Object), allowing fully functional web applications to be auto-generated from a set of glossaries.
