A tag-based approach for the design and composition of information processing applications

Data-Driven Composition for Service-Oriented Situational Web Applications

“…Tagging is also employed in software development. To best of our knowledge, the MARIO system [11], [13], [14] is the most prior work to leverage tagbased descriptions as component annotations, whereby users can find desired goals by regular search. Based on the SPPL planner [15], MARIO facilitates combination of components to create applications that satisfy end-user goals.…”

“…Our approach relies on the popularity of tags on the web. The primitive of tag-based composition of flow applications was first proposed in the MARIO system [11]. Tag-based search is a hot topic in the research body of information retrieval and data mining.…”

“…To best of our knowledge, few works have been made in the area of existing service-based applications. The primitive of tag-based composition of flow applications was first proposed in the MARIO system [11]. Some recent works [29], [30] try to leverage tag-based service discovery, but not fully consider the hierarchy relationships of tags.…”

“…Pipes [8], MatchUP [9], Marmite [10], MARIO [11], etc. However, we argue that, the large number of available services and the complexity of composition constraints make manual composition difficult.…”
