“…EUSC aims to enable end users, those who are not professional programmers, to create, compose and assemble Web applications from existing service components at a point of need [1]. End-user services are typically situational software [11], created for a narrow group of users with a unique set of needs and may have a short life span, such as tourist maps and flood maps [12].…”

“…END-USER service composition (EUSC) is a paradigm of service-oriented computing (SOC) that aims to empower end users who are not professional developers to design or customize their own web applications [1], [2]. Such an idea can be very attractive to businesses, because providing low-cost, customized services that can respond quickly to changing requirements and environments is crucial to today's business operation.…”

“…This paper is timely in revisiting our understanding of user studies on EUSC and rethinking the design issues of good quality user studies. In order not to be sidetracked to the technical issues that are raised by the aforementioned new computing paradigms, which themselves deserve proper discussions on their own right, our mapping study has chosen to focus only on one uniform set of user studies for EUSC -that is, user studies for evaluating the traditional, desktop-based web service composition, also known as web mashup [1], where the device used during service composition is a desktop.…”

Context: End-user service composition (EUSC) is a service-oriented paradigm that aims to empower end users and allow them to compose their own web applications from reusable service components. User studies have been used to evaluate EUSC tools and processes. Such an approach should benefit software development, because incorporating end users’ feedback into software development should make software more useful and usable. Problem: There is a gap in our understanding of what constitutes a user study and how a good user study should be designed, conducted, and reported. Goal: This article aims to address this gap. Method: The article presents a systematic review of 47 selected user studies for EUSC. Guided by a review framework, the article systematically and consistently assesses the focus, methodology and cohesion of each of these studies. Results: The article concludes that the focus of these studies is clear, but their methodology is incomplete and inadequate, their overall cohesion is poor. The findings lead to the development of a design framework and a set of questions for the design, reporting, and review of good user studies for EUSC. The detailed analysis and the insights obtained from the analysis should be applicable to the design of user studies for service-oriented systems as well and indeed for any user studies related to software artifacts.

“…Models in Modelica are defined in discrete (event-based), differential or algebraic equations (hybrid DAEs). Based on the PNlib tools aiming at xHPN simulation proposed in [6], we choose the mashup service development lifecycle proposed in [7] and model the process as in Figure 6. In Figure 6, resources are uniformly represented in (monetary-like) value.…”

“…The framework defines activities of discovering and analyzing, business integration, logic design, conceptual architecting, logical architecting consequently. Daniel and Matera [7] proposed a lightweight development process model specially designed for mashups, a new service development style. The model contains several major activities namely discovery and selection, mashup composition and integration, usage (deployment) and maintenance.…”
