隨著WWW從單純的資訊傳播管道演進到可作為企業應用的平台，以Web為導向的電腦應用已被企業視為是最具競爭力的武器。基於WWW潛在的龐大商業利益，有越來越多的組織或個人想建立自己的網站，在Internet上發展企業對企業或企業對個人的應用程式。如何設計Web應用系統已成為最重要的課題。然而目前Web程式的開發方法混亂而且沒有標準化，有些建置方式並沒有依循系統分析與設計的原則。簡而言之，我們需要特別的方法與工具來支援超文件系統的開發。所以本研究希望找到一個結構化的步驟與流程來開發以資料庫為核心的超文件應用系統，此外還會製作一套可以支援超文件應用系統設計流程的工具軟體雛形。 / As World Wide Web has evolved from the simple delivery mechanism to a platform for complex business applications, Web-based business computing is already seen as a new competitive business weapon. The potential commercial payoff of WWW results in more and more organizations or people want to construct their own web sites, developing business-to-business or business-to-consumer applications upon the Internet. Designing Web applications has become the serious issue. However, current methods of designing and modeling hypertext applications are still in chaos and keeps ad-hoc nature. Some of the development methods lack serious system analysis and design. In a word, we need special methods and tools to support the development of hypertext applications. Therefore, this research intends to present a structured approach, a step-by-step procedure for developing database-centric hypertext applications. In addition, this paper will implement a tool kit system prototype to support the process of design hypertext applications.

Web forms development for Web based applications is often expensive, laborious, error-prone, time consuming and requires a lot of effort. Web forms are used by many different people with different backgrounds and a lot of demands. There is a very high cost associated with the need to update the Web application systems to achieve these demands. A wide range of techniques and ideas to automate the generation of Web forms exist. These techniques and ideas however, are not capable of generating the most dynamic behaviour of form elements, and make Insufficient use of database metadata to control Web forms' generation and appearance. In this thesis different techniques are proposed that use RuleML and database metadata to build rulebases to improve the automatic and dynamic generation of Web forms. First this thesis proposes the use of a RuleML format rulebase using Reaction RuleML that can be used to support the development of automated Web interfaces. Database metadata can be extracted from system catalogue tables in typical relational database systems, and used in conjunction with the rulebase to produce appropriate Web form elements. Results show that this mechanism successfully insulates application logic from code and suggests that Abstract iii the method can be extended from generic metadata rules to more domain specific rules. Second it proposes the use of common sense rules and domain specific rules rulebases using Reaction RuleML format in conjunction with database metadata rules to extend support for the development of automated Web forms. Third it proposes the use of rules that involve code to implement more semantics for Web forms. Separation between content, logic and presentation of Web applications has become an important issue for faster development and easy maintenance. Just as CSS applied on the client side to control the overall presentation of Web applications, a set of rules can give a similar consistency to the appearance and operation of any set of forms that interact with the same database. We develop rules to order Web form elements and query forms using Reaction RuleML format in conjunction with database metadata rules. The results show the potential of RuleML formats for representing database structural and active semantics. Fourth it proposes the use of a RuleML based approach to provide more support for greater semantics for example advanced domain support even when this is not a DBMS feature. The approach is to specify most of the semantics associated with data stored in RDBMS, to overcome some RDBMSs limitations. RuleML could be used to represent database metadata as an external format.

This study presents a web-based database application for storing experimental data and related documents at a single location and sharing them among researchers and engineers from all over the world. The database application, accessible from a website was developed for experimental structural engineering researches, and initially tested at Structural and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department, METU. The application is composed of two parts. The first part is the database that stores information about projects, specimens, experiments, experimental data, documentation, site members, and member groups at the server side. The second part is the website that provides a functional user interface for easy use of application and providing accessibility from everywhere via internet. After the development of the database and the website, these two parts were attached to each other and application functionalities that enabled users to create, modify, search, and delete projects, specimens and experiments / allowed users to upload/download documentation and experimental data / provided abilities to users to plot test data and share their opinions were ensured. ASP.NET framework and C# programming language was utilized for the web application development. Functionality and usability of the database application was then tested by uploading and sharing various experimental results.

The goal of this thesis is to create control software for stand-alone payment machines. The purpose of this software is minimize maintenance cost and usability as much as possible. Description of technologies and protocols used in implementation are in the text. Next, there is process of work beginning with analysis, continues with design, construction, testing and installation manual. Projekt status and product utilization at the end of project is in chapter about evaluation.
