WARP for re-engineering of web applications Mario Bochicchio and Nicola Fiore   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Demo Papers Abstract Recently the need for reengineering of Web Applications has increased significantly due to the failure of the most important investments. The demand by all business sectors to adapt their applications to the Web characteristics has created a tremendous need for methods, tools, and infrastructures to evolve and exploit existing applications efficiently and cost-effectively.Our demo introduces an environment specifically tailored for the design and the rapid prototyping of Web applications. The environment, named WARP (Web Application Rapid Prototyping), offers a set of online software tools, which assist the designer and the user browsing of a Web application, in all its different aspects according to the W2000 methodology. To support the re-engineering, WARP uses WGrab that maps the W2000 schema onto the legacy data sources, in order to integrate the existing content into the application production process. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
