ABSTRACT
The World Wide Web is a rapidly growing business environmenthosting a large number of business transactions. Methods fordesigning Web Information Systems (WIS) have adopted processmodels, typically as extensions of the navigation models they arebased on. We observe that the structure of business processes inWIS goes beyond the scope of the navigation structure and deservesto be a more prominent aspect of the design, abstracted from thenavigation specification. This paper explains the design of WISdriven by the specification of business processes of WIS that isused for the automatic generation of models describing theapplication logic including the navigation structure. Thespecification of processes is explained on a conference review andsubmission system and the generation process is demonstrated onthe Hera application model.
