An Eclipse-based tool for model driven web applications with personalization support

Abstract

Web engineering methods provide a systematic approach to develop complex and high quality Web applications. Many of these methods provide, in some way, personalization support. However, none of the existing Web methodologies provide a tool which allow the modeling, automatic generation and deployment of personalized Web applications in a complete way. In this line, they also do not exist tools which allow the designer modifying the personalization strategies at runtime, avoiding to regenerate Web applications from scratch. To tackle these lacks, in this paper we have presented a tool that has been developed to give support to the A-OOH (Adaptive Object Oriented Hypermedia) design method. The main advantages of this tool are the automatic generation and deployment of personalized Web applications with personalization support at runtime.
