Challenges for the adoption of model-driven Web engineering approaches in industry

Abstract

Model-Driven Web Engineering approaches have become an attractive research and technology solution for Web application development. However, for more than 20 years of development, the industry has not adopted them due to the mismatch between technical versus research requirements. In the context of this joint work between academia and industry, the authors survey hundreds of engineers from different companies of the world, and by statistical analysis present the current problems of these approaches in scale. Then a set of guidelines is provided to improve the model driven Web engineering approaches in order to make them viable industry solutions
