Abstract

Application families (AF) are usually developed to reduce time to market and development costs of applica-tions. Therefore, it is attractive to investigate the development of web AF (WAF) and to have an adequate requirements engineering (RE) method for WAF. A problem little studied is how to classify use cases (UC) for rich internet applications (RIA); to give better guidance to the developer we define a taxonomy for RIA UCs. UCs are described using UML activity diagrams (AD) in some web methods, but the taxonomies for actions proposed in them can be improved, because there are not enough action classes or they are too monolithic; for this reason we define a new action classification for RIA ADs. Studying the AD variability notations, we found a set of requirements for them; we define a notation for ADs satisfying these require-ments and fulfilling some of them in a better way than in the literature. Non-functional requirements (NFR) for WAF must be documented. There are some goal-based approaches with variabilities; but they do not consider the modeling of NFRs and only consider examples for hard goals. We extend the NFR framework for the description of NFRs adding to it modeling elements for expressing variabilities.
