Abstract

In this chapter, we present the usage of a modeling language, WebML, for the design and the management of dynamic Web applications. WebML also makes easier the analysis of the usage of the application contents by the users, even if applications are dynamic. In fact, it makes use of some special-purpose logs, called conceptual logs, generated by the application runtime engine. In this chapter, we report on a case study about the analysis of conceptual logs for testifying to the effectiveness of WebML and its conceptual modeling methods. The methodology of the analysis of the Web logs is based on the datamining paradigm of item sets and frequent patterns, and makes full use of constraints on the conceptual logs’ content. As a consequence, we could obtain many interesting patterns for application management such as recurrent navigation paths, the most frequently visited page’s contents, and anomalies.
