Developing a Creative Travel Management System Based on Software Reuse and Abstraction Techniques

Tourism became a common topic while the level of tourist requirements increased dramatically. Generally traditional travel websites provided general information or price list of hotel, transport tickets, etc. These kinds of information cannot satisfy travelers any more. A challenge for travel websites is to present creative and special travel plans to users. In order to achieve this target, relying on software reuse and abstraction techniques, this paper demonstrates a new system, aiming to generate creative travel plans. This system can be divided into three part (Information Abstraction, Information Reuse, Information Formulation). Firstly, the system is to derive the characteristic query into different travel components with a high level of abstraction. Secondly, the system is to reuse different elements from different travel components to comprise a creative travel plan. Finally, the system builds a creativity metrics system to rank the redived plans based on the level of creativity.
