Creating a cliché library for social applications

Déjà Vu is a platform for the end-user development of web applications. It reduces the complexity of web development by encapsulating common functionality across the web into a library of clichés. Users select clichés that represent core concepts in their application, specify various configuration variables and include actions that add the desired functionality to their application. This thesis focuses on creating a cliché library for social applications (e.g. planning events, crowd-sourcing opinions, etc.). The catalogue of clichés and their actions were evaluated by replicating student projects from an undergraduate web development course. Most of the core functionality was replicated for each sample. The applications built with Déjà Vu will also serve as a reference and/ or starting point for future application developers.
