Abstract

This presentation gives an overview of the recently developed
Content Management System (CMS) that serves as a public information
portal, intranet web and a web based support of the teaching process
for the Faculty of electrical engineering and computing (FER),
University of Zagreb, Croatia. The presentation covers a brief history
of web based systems, from static pages to CMS, implemented technical
solutions, benefits of applying modular design, inter-module
communication and importance of the content changelog.
It also addresses issues concerning the inclusion of large number of
static pages into the CMS (important if there is an existing static Web
that needs to be incorporated into the CMS), search engine, and improving
system performance by using cache.
