Abstract
An effective approach to modelling and prototyping of business applications is presented in this paper. The approach is based on three concepts: The concept of data structure abstraction, the concept of a behavioural model based on the dynamic functional approach and a design approach based on creating multiple levels of a domain-specific language. The characteristics of each concept are presented. A technique how to combine them together to create highly detailed descriptive models that may be easily turned to prototypes is shown and demonstrated. Limitations are formulated and benefits over the object-oriented approach are discussed, as well.
