Dynamic Mashup Interfaces for Information Systems Using Widgets-as-a-Service

Abstract

Abstract. Web Information Systems intend to adapt to the users' preferences as new data available on the network. In this regard, the composition and reuse of services which are involved in a web application is an interesting research topic, since these techniques pursue the dynamic construction of applications that can be adapted at design or run time.As for the visualization of these applications, web user interfaces play a key role, serving as a connection point between users and the rest of the system. This article proposes an architecture for specification, storage, management and visualization of components, built from widgets complying with the W3C recommendation, for making web user interfaces. We follow a service-based approach for the interface deployment and communication management, introducing the concept of Widgets-as-aService (WaaS). To illustrate this proposal, an example of widget-based Web Information System is shown.

CoStorm: a term map system to aid in a collaborative ideation process

“…To visualize the structure of design rationale, Bracewell et al (2009) proposed a design rationale editor, and further used it to create a function analysis diagram (Aurisicchio et al, 2013). For the "mashup" (Vallecillos et al, 2014) problem when brainstorming among multiple users, Moulin et al (2016) proposed three dimensions (resource, video, and data persistence) concerned with the capitalization of brainstorming activities in a remote context. They also implemented a suite of applications.…”

Hand Posture Recognition with Standard Webcam for Natural Interaction

“…The Enia project [19,24] is based on mashups interfaces (see Figure 5). This kind of interface is the application domain of the gesture recognition flow.…”

A cloud service for COTS component-based architectures

“…This article is based on a previous research work (Vallecillos et al, 2014) framed in the field of distributed development of information system (Mishra et al, 2012). In this work the system architecture focusing on the threelevel data model used in the different layers of our architecture is described.…”
