Engineering Web applications for reuse

Web design frameworks combine generic conceptual, navigational, and context schemas. Such frameworks offer developers a conceptual approach to maximize design reuse rather than code reuse in Web applications. The authors apply the object oriented hypermedia design extension, OOHDM-Frame, to determine key architectural components and design structures that lend themselves to reuse     

Discovering and Using Design Patterns in the WWW

In this paper, we discuss how the idea of design patterns can be used in the context of the World Wide Web, for both designing and implementing web sites or more complex information systems. We first motivate our work by discussing which are the most outstanding problems in designing Web-based information systems. Then we briefly introduce design patterns and show how they are used to record and reuse design information. We next present some simple though powerful design patterns and show known uses in the WWW. Finally, we outline a process for building applications by combining a design methodology (OOHDM) with design patterns.
