Conceptual Development of Custom, Domain-Specific Mashup Platforms

Despite the common claim by mashup platforms that they enable end-users to develop their own software, in practice end-users still don't develop their own mashups, as the highly technical or inexistent user bases of today's mashup platforms testify. The key shortcoming of current platforms is their general-purpose nature, that privileges expressive power over intuitiveness. In our prior work, we have demonstrated that a domainspecific mashup approach, which privileges intuitiveness over expressive power, has much more potential to enable end-user development (EUD). The problem is that developing mashup platforms-domain-specific or not-is complex and time consuming. In addition, domain-specific mashup platforms by their very nature target only a small user basis, that is, the experts of the target domain, which makes their development not sustainable if it is not adequately supported and automated.With this article, we aim to make the development of custom, domain-specific mashup platforms costeffective. We describe a mashup tool development kit (MDK) that is able to automatically generate a mashup platform (comprising custom mashup and component description languages and design-time and runtime environments) from a conceptual design and to provision it as a service. We equip the kit with a dedicated development methodology and demonstrate the applicability and viability of the approach with the help of two case studies.

“…MashArt aims at simplicity: orchestration of distributed (i.e., multibrowser) applications and complex features like transactions or exception handling are outside its scope. The CRUISe project [25] has similarities with mashArt, especially regarding the componentization of UIs. Yet, is does not support the seamless integration of UI components with service orchestration, i.e., there is no support for complex process logic.…”

a b s t r a c tWorkflow management systems focus on the coordination of people and work items, service composition approaches on the coordination of service invocations, and, recently, web mashups have started focusing on the integration and coordination of pieces of user interfaces (UIs), e.g., a Google map, inside simple web pages. While these three approaches have evolved in a rather isolated fashion -although they can be seen as evolution of the componentization and coordination idea from people to services to UIs -in this paper we describe a component-based development paradigm that conciliates the core strengths of these three approaches inside a single model and language. We call this new paradigm distributed UI orchestration, so as to reflect the mashup-like and process-based nature of our target applications. In order to aid developers in implementing UI orchestrations, we equip the described model and language with suitable design, deployment, and runtime instruments, covering the whole life cycle of distributed UI orchestrations.

“…Support for UI integration is missing, and support for service integration is still poor while it provides only generic programming features (e.g., feed manipulation, looping) and typically require basic programming knowledge. The CRUISe project [7] specifically focuses on composability and context-aware presentation of UIs, but does not support the seamless integration of UI components with web services. The ServFace project (http://www.servface.eu), instead, aims to support normal web users in composing semantically annotated web services.…”

On the Systematic Development of Domain-Specific Mashup Tools for End Users

Abstract. The recent emergence of mashup tools has refueled research on end user development, i.e., on enabling end-users without programming skills to compose their own applications. Yet, similar to what happened with analogous promises in web service composition and business process management, research has mostly focused on technology and, as a consequence, has failed its objective. In this paper, we propose a domainspecific approach to mashups that is aware of the terminology, concepts, rules, and conventions (the domain) the user is comfortable with. We show what developing a domain-specific mashup tool means, which role the mashup meta-model and the domain model play and how these can be merged into a domain-specific mashup meta-model. We exemplify the approach by implementing a mashup tool for a specific domain (research evaluation) and describe the respective user study. The results of the user study confirm that domain-specific mashup tools indeed lower the entry barrier to mashup development.
