Developing interactive systems to access and manipulate data is a very tough task. In particular, the development of user interfaces (UIs) is one of the most time-consuming activities in the software lifecycle. This is even more demanding when data have to be retrieved by accessing flexibly different online resources. Indeed, software development is moving more and more toward composite applications that aggregate on the fly specific Web services and APIs. In this article, we present a mashup model that describes the integration, at the presentation layer, of UI components. The goal is to allow non-technical end users to visualize and manipulate (i.e., to perform actions on) the data displayed by the components, which thus become actionable UI components. This article shows how the model has guided the development of a mashup platform through which non-technical end users can create component-based interactive workspaces via the aggregation and manipulation of data fetched from distributed online resources. Due to the abundance of online data sources, facilitating the creation of such interactive workspaces is a very relevant need that emerges in different contexts. A utilization study has been performed in order to assess the benefits of the proposed model and of the Actionable UI Components; participants were required to perform real tasks using the mashup platform. The study results are reported and discussed.

“…Based on that combination, few mashup approaches have been identified and discussed to facilitate mashup development. This includes widget-based [9], spreadsheet-like [11], wired-based [5], programming by example and demonstration [12], [13] and block-based development [14]. These approaches play an important role as a user interface component at the presentation level.…”

Abstract-This study explores the tools and materials used in personal learning environment (PLE) by investigating the impact of embedding a mashup technology into learning environment. With Web 2.0 technologies, mashing up several materials into learning repository helps learners to form their own scope of learning. A PLE mashup model is suggested in determining suitable tools and materials. Based on the current trends in Web 2.0, another aspect of PLE that could be further investigated is the adoption of social media application for formal higher education level. A study on student perception shows a positive acceptance towards PLE in their learning activities. In order to serve as learning tool, how the technology could be implemented, and its limitation towards efficiency was highlighted.Index Term-Personal learning environment, mashup, web 2.0.

“…Moreover, other platforms, such as AMICO:CALC [8], MashSheet [30], DataSheets [31], and the mashup platform proposed by Kongdenfha et al [29], leverage the power of spreadsheet systems to constrain what services and data processing procedures can be composed together by using the predefined spreadsheet formulas. Also, the "WireIt" approach 3 has been utilized in DISC [22] and SoCo [23] to provide domain constraints.…”
