Abstract

Staying tuned to the trends in a certain domain has extremely dynamic and potential applications in many areas. For example, business analysts need to know the current solutions used for attracting customers in order to decide on the most appropriate marketing strategy. Meanwhile, a respectable number of organizations today exploit their online presence to boost their profits. Particularly, they utilize Content Management Systems (CMS) as the core system to support their Web Applications (WAs) thanks to their efficiency for managing digital content. In this context, having the ability to discover commonly reusable patterns can be a valuable tool in the domain-specific development process. To this end, we propose a model-driven approach for modeling WAs developed using the Joomla! CMS utilizing reverse engineering (RE) and clustering techniques. When applied to a large number of applications, it enables hypertext architects to identify patterns and discover design solutions for WAs frameworks per topic.
