Modeling
Implementing an ALI application rests on the definition of typical tasks, documents and messages, which together define the relevant work procedures. As opposed to traditional or public web applications, ALI applications understand roles. Users can access specific information the application maintains only according to defined roles.
Generation
The ALI system enables the developer to immediately generate a fully operational application from this model. A key feature of ALI applications is the automatic migration of all data the previous version of the application contained already. Changes of the application are operational immediately, without loss of previously entered data or migration efforts. Therefore even solutions for very detailed work flows can be developed on-the-fly.
The specific disadvantage of model-based development
is the high effort for implementing features, that require
changes to the model itself.
