Abstract
It is well-known that Model-Driven Web Engineering requires the development of code-generation tools in order to be adopted outside research field as a complete solution in Web application development industry. Regrettably, a fully-guided methodology supported by a complete code-generation tool that considers a complete development process based on MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) is missing. The idea behind MDA is that requirements are considered (functional and nonfunctional requirements) from the Computational Independent Model (CIM), to the Platform Specific Model (PSM) passing for the Platform Independent Model (PIM) to generate the source code for the Web application. In our work is presented a baseline DSL (Domain Specific Language) for Web application code-generation considering the basic language used in a small software factory in Mexico. This is an ongoing work which is part of a institutional project in order to build a suite of tools for code-generation for Web application development.
