ABSTRACT
The SME (Small and medium-sized enterprise) Enxenio has developed many web-based Geographic Information Systems within the last decade. Since the demand for GIS is increasing, Enxenio decided to apply Software Product Line Engineering to this domain to facilitate the development of complete web-based GIS applications, increasing their quality, improving the time-to-market and, at the same time, reducing their cost to its clients. This demo shows the resulting tool of this process, which is able to generate the source code of a web-based GIS from the set of desired features and the definition of its data model. This tool can be run within a web browser and the derivation engine in charge of generating the code is based on the scaffolding technique.

Learning from achievement: scaffolding student projects in software engineering
It has become almost a truism that students learn more from working on projects than from lectures. This is reflected in pedagogical approaches such as Problem-based Learning, Project-based Learning (PBL) and Work-based Learning. A problem in PBL, ...
