Supercomputing centers, typically non-profit, government or university-based organizations with scarce resources, are increasingly being requested to provide customized web portals for user-centered access to their services in order to support a demanding customer base. These portals often have very similar architectures and meet similar requirements, with the variations primarily being in the specialized analysis applications, and in the input and output of these applications. Given these characteristics, Software Production Line Engineering (SPLE) approaches will be valuable in enabling development teams to cost-effectively meet demands. In this paper, we demonstrate a suite of web portals developed at The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) by applying SPLE methodologies. We show how we applied feature modeling on these applications to identify commonalities in their application level features despite differences in their problem domains. We describe a common framework (we term it Per User DrupaL, or PUDL), which serves as the common foundation for these portals. We demonstrate the effectiveness of SPLE in terms of reduced development time and effort, and discuss the technical challenges faced in this process. Finally we propose, as an extension to our work, an automation framework for portal generation, which users could build their own customized portals.
