Modernização do portal da informática da UFSM utilizando um sistema de gestão de conteúdo web

Abstract

The Computer Science’s site is used to provide communication, source of information and spreading of news about UFSM Computer Science related areas. This site offers some other services to the users, and also provides a host to sites of some research groups. Although the site fulfills your main objectives, it has problems like the difficulty of actualization, and a mechanism of search that is inefficient. A way to solve these problems is use the Content Management Systems(CMS). These systems had appeared nowadays to make easy the management and collaborative management of web content, allowing a group of authorized people make actualizations by the web, keeping the design and structure of this site safe. The CMS also provides other functionalities like index of content, management of the history about actualizations and integration with web applications. Based on this, this work has for objective to use the CMS to perfect and to modernize the Computer Science’sWebsite. Then a literary revision was made, analyzing some methods of Web modeling, and some tools are described, including the CMS and others that work with the modeling studied. So the CMS tool chosen was the Plone system, that is an open source software, well documented, that can be customized, used by lots of institution around the world. This system has already been an object of study of a Work of Graduation of the Course of Computer science of the UFSM, and on this situation the objective was to evaluate the applicability of Plone to this Website. This actual work continue the last experience, and make a complete proposal to the new Computer Science’s Website, based on Plone system.
