  2. Agenda • The problem • How to manage contents in different domains of the information life cycle? • The first solution: Content Management System • What is it? • What does it do? • Advantages? • CMS’s problems • The solution: Visual CMS • What is it? • What does it do? • How does it work? • Demo • Conclusions

  3. The problem • Organize • Acquire • Manage • Deliver • Analyze One resource to... ...generates confusion and errors Many resources... ...generates many confusion and errors

  4. Content Management System The first solution • What is it? • A CMS is an informatic system. • What does it do? • The CMS’s main goal is to offer control over the different domains mencioned before for the end-user. • What are it’s advantages? • Control • Agility • Security What abou disadvantages?

  5. The CMS’s problems • They aren’t user-friendly • Lost of control over the system • Increases the tasks time to complete • Increases suport costs • Generates errors • It’s hard to understand complex system • It’s hard to switch between CMSs

  6. VCMS – What is it? • Visual modeling environment • CASE Tool • Domain specific language

  7. VCMS – What does it do? • “An image is worth more than a thousand words” • Increases the abstraction... • ... Without ambiguity... • ... Complying with sintax and semantic rules • Build consensus! • Understand complex systems • Adapts it self to different CMSs • Shows the chosen CMS specific properties • Transmit the right actions to the CMS based on what was visual modeled • Creates a strongly typed visual language • Creates the .NET types that represent the visual and domain elements

  8. VCMS – How does it work? • The VCMS’s layered architecture... • Visual Content Management • Visual modeling environment • Visual Content Provider • Comunication between the VCM and the CMS • Content Management System • The CMS’s API • Ables: • Abstract comunication between the VCM and the CMS • The same visual modeling environment for different CMSs Fig. 1 – VCMS’s layers

  9. VCMS – How does it work? • The VCMS makes available the interaction between the user and the CMS across different domains. • Each domain has unique characteristics that are represented by a domain language in the VCMS. Fig.2 – VCMS’s architecture across different domains

  10. VCMS – How does it work? • In each domain... • ...it’s possible to interact with different CMSs... • ... using a associated Visual Content Provider... • ... that implements the domain's programmatic interfaces. • Based on the strategy design pattern. • See it to believe it! Fig.3 – The VCMS’s architecture in the context of a domain

  11. Conclusions • Present: • The VCMS is a visual modeling sistem that overcomes the CMSs disadvantages and interacts with different CMSs using a associated Visual Content Provider that implements the domain's programmatic interfaces. • It was implemented the Organize domain using Viatecla’s CMS - Scriptor Server 2006 - and a dummy CMS. • Future: • Create a Software factory for the Web Application Integration Domain
