As the use of the World Wide Web becomes more
pervasive within our society, businesses and institutions
are required to migrate a wide range of services to the
web. Difficulties arise where there are requirements to
integrate existing systems within the migrated and oftenextended
web based services. The Institutionally Secure
Integrated Data Environment (INSIDE) project is
addressing the problems and issues surrounding the
development and delivery of web based services for
"joined up systems" for institutions within Higher
Education (HE). The project is working with a variety of
existing information systems, e.g. student record systems
and managed learning environments, at two universities.
To better understand the requirements for an integrated
web based service, a common business process, the
registration of new undergraduate students, has been
analysed and modelled at both sites. Progressing from
initial informal models to more formal models in a systematic way, following a meta-process incorporating good practice from domain analysis and requirements engineering has allowed the project to lay the foundation for its development of web-based services.
