Inter-widget communication (IWC) becomes an increasingly important topic in the field of user interface mashups. Recent research has focused on so-called choreographed IWC approaches that enable selforganization of the aggregated components based on their messaging capabilities. Though a manual configuration of communication paths is not required anymore, such solutions bear several problems related to awareness and control of the emerging message flow. This paper presents a systematic approach to tackle these problems in the context of hybrid user interface mashups. We show how users can be made aware of the emerged IWC configuration and how they can adjust it to their needs. A reference architecture for development of hybrid mashup platforms, is derived and one implementation based on the publish-subscribe choreography model is given. We report on the results of a first user study and outline directions for the future research.

The mashup paradigm allows end users to build custom web applications by combining data-exchanging components in order to fulfill specific needs. Since such building blocks typically originate from different third party vendors, compatibility issues at component interface level are inevitable. This decreases re-usability and requires skilled users or automatisms to provide the necessary mediation to solve such issues. However, current mashup proposals are very limited in this regard.We present techniques for data mediation that leverage semantically annotated interface descriptions to overcome a high degree of interface mismatch. We equipped the EDYRA mashup platform for end user development with automatic support for these techniques to increase the re-usability of components and to foster the long tail of user needs. In order to show the practicability of our approach, we describe the platform implementation and present benchmark results.

“…Despite the fact that it allows end users to communicate with developers for requesting new features, they do not allow sharing developments. CapView [63] is a mashup platform that provides instant feedback for user development actions. CapView helps nonprogrammers form components with recommendations provided by the system and it manipulates a mashup through visually composing component features.…”

New Perspectives in End-User Development

This chapter presents Web Augmentation (WA) technologies as tools and techniques for end-user development. WA technologies differ from other web development technologies as they target at improving existing Web pages and not at creating new Web sites. These improvements can deeply alter the way users use and interact with Web sites. This chapter revisits the concept of WA and provides an overview of the main features that characterize WA technologies. This characterization is used to position and compare the various contributions that have been made in WA. To make things more concrete we provide an illustration of WA technology through a case study using a dedicated tool called WebMakeup. Despite all their advantages, WA technologies present some limitations that might result in challenges on the user side. These aspects are also presented and discussed, highlighting directions for future work in that domain.
