Textual and Content-Based Search in Repositories of Web Application Models - TWEB paper

The paper "Textual and Content-Based Search in Repositories of Web Application Models" I co-authored together with Bojana Bislimovska, Alessandro Bozzon, and Piero Fraternali has now been published on the ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB).

The article examines two different techniques for indexing and searching model repositories, with a focus on Web development projects encoded in the domain-specific language WebML. Keyword-based and content-based search (also known as query-by-example) are contrasted with respect to the architecture of the system, the processing of models and queries, and the way in which metamodel knowledge can be exploited to improve search. A thorough experimental evaluation is conducted to examine what parameter configurations lead to better accuracy and to offer an insight in what queries are addressed best by each system.
