The rapid growth and diffusion of the Web are nurturing a novel generation of applications which grow in size and complexity. The development of such applications is a hybrid between traditional Information System development and Hypermedia authoring [8]. It challenges the existing tools and approaches for software production [8]. Currently the development of a Web application is somewhat chaotic and often ad-hoc process lacking systematic techniques and methodologies [6]. As a result, many companies today are experiencing severe problems in the management and maintenance of the web application. Ginige et al. use the term Web crisis to describe this situation [4]. In response to that, this project is to apply Web Modeling Language (WebML) which specified for web application and .Net four-tier architecture to the appointment management handling in the university/college environment. A web based appointment management system called WBAMS is designed and implemented so that students and lecturers can arrange meetings in an effective and efficient way.
