A Model-Driven Process to Migrate Web Content Management System Extensions

摘要

Developing and maintaining software extensions for Web Content Management Systems (WCMSs) like Joomla, WordPress, or Drupal can be a difficult and time consuming process. This poster presents a model-driven process which addresses typical challenges during the migration of software extensions for WCMSs. We introduce JooMDD as a prototypical environment for the development and maintenance of Joomla extensions. JooMDD consists of a domain-specific modelling language for WCMS extensions, a reverse engineering tool to create models based on existing WCMS extensions, and a code generator for software extensions, which can be used to enrich Joomla-based applications. The use of JooMDD within our research demonstrates the application of a model-driven migration process for WCMS extensions.
