Abstract:
In recent years, the Web Engineering community has introduced several model-driven methods in order to simplify Web Application development. However, these methods are too general and mainly focus on data intensive Web Applications. A solution to this problem is the Situational Method Engineering. This approach allows the creation or improvement of a web engineering method by reusing method fragments from previous methods. This way, a method suitable for a concrete project or domain can be designed. In this work, the OOWS method metamodel is defined with the purpose of applying Situational Method Engineering. Because of this metamodel, OOWS method fragments can be formalised and used to improve the efficiency of another Web Engineering Methods. Furthermore, the suitability of the OOWS method in the context of CMS-based web applications is evaluated through a
user-registration case study. The results of this evaluation, is a list of current limitations of the OOWS Method in the CMS
Web Systems domain and possible solutions.
