Abstract
Run-time application environments are affected by the changes in mini-world or technology changes. Large number of applications are process driven. For robust applications that can evolve over time, there is a need for a methodology that implicitly handles changes at various levels from mini-world to run-time environment through a layers of models and systems. In this paper, we present ER* methodology for evolving applications. In the context of this paper, the role of two-way active behaviour and template driven development of applications is presented. This methodology facilitates capturing active behaviour from run-time transactions and provides a means of using this knowledge to guide subsequent application design and its evolution.
