Mining the Conceptual Model of Open Source CMS Using a Reverse Engineering Approach

Model-driven engineering has become the emerging standard for software development focusing on the use of models as first-class citizens. One possible field of application of such model-driven approaches can be the open source Content Management Systems (CMS) domain. Typically, CMS are built using the source-code-oriented software development process raising issues related to usability, performance and other qualities of service in an application’s lifecycle. To overcome these issues, the use of model-driven approaches in the development of CMS-based web applications (WAs) can be particular beneficial.
