Abstract
The recent diffusion of WWW technology and the widespread need of producing high quality WWW applications in a cost-effective manner have made important to improve the quality and the efficiency of the engineering process for WWW sites. In this paper we argue that the first ingredient needed for a well-organized process is a design model, able to describe the structural and navigational properties of WWW applications. The second ingredient is a suitable set of tools supporting the design and the development of the applications. Assuming HDM as design model, we present JWeb, a suite of tools supporting several activities: initial conceptual design, development of supporting database to store data, insertion of data, customization of design for specific applications, prototyping of applications etc.
