constraint tuning and management for web applications
Since the Web is becoming a platform for implementing complex B2C and B2B applications instead of simple content publishing sites, the need arises of imposing constraints on the navigation and on the managed information. Web conceptual modeling languages allow to a small extent to specify constraints on the application, by means of some extensions to their basic primitives; however these approaches do not provide a comprehensive framework for efficient and effective constraint management. The goal of this paper is to present a general framework to facilitate the integration of efficient integrity checking methods in Web applications. Our main contribution is the study of a set of parameters that can be inferred from high level Web application modeling, for allowing the tuning of the constraint optimization techniques for each specific Web application. From these parameters we derive the optimal enforcement techniques to be implemented.
