【 摘 要 】

In the last years, the requirements of the end-users are notably evolved. A good software must not have only a good functionality cover but it also must have good usability features. From this point of view, the most recent design methodologies focus on the interaction between the end-user and its user experience; in this way, the design focus there is not on the data element (represented as objects or relational entity) but on the end-user and its perception of the information anymore. According to growing needs, it is more and more frequent the requests of reengineering of existing products that, developed in many years,have a good coverage of the application domain; these existing products result completely unsuitable to the modern paradigms of interaction. In this paper, we introduce an experience of reengineering (in web perspective) of a legacy application on the environment monitoring. This experience has been performed into the industrial research project (funded by Italian Government) called “Genesis-D”(Global Environmental Network System of Information for Sustainable Development) that understanding the importance of the new user-centred approach wants to reengineering its own products.
