“…Such flexible environments are based on the model presented in [7] that promotes easy transitions of information between different contexts. This model implements some of the principles defined within the Transformative User eXperience (TUX) framework [8,30]. The goal of TUX is to overcome common application boundaries enabling user interaction with information within dedicated, contextual task environments called task containers.…”

“…It has been iteratively refined by adding further components starting from requirements we gathered during our research, namely: i) a different way to integrate service data by means of join and union operations for data mashup; ii) the Actionable UI Components that implement some Transformative User eXperience principles [8,30]; iii) the polymorphic data sources to access LOD. The new model is depicted in Fig.…”

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.

“…According to recent works published in literature [Latzina and Beringer 2012], there is also an increasing need to replace fixed applications with elastic environments that can be shaped up flexibly, to accommodate different situational needs. New design principles are emerging [Latzina and Beringer 2012] to promote paradigms where end users can access contents and functions and flexibly use and compose such resources in several situations and across several applications and access devices.…”

A UI-Centric Approach for the End-User Development of Multidevice Mashups

In recent years, models, composition paradigms, and tools for mashup development have been proposed to support the integration of information sources, services and APIs available on the Web. The challenge is to provide a gate to a "programmable Web," where end users are allowed to construct easily composite applications that merge content and functions so as to satisfy the long tail of their specific needs. The approaches proposed so far do not fully accommodate this vision. This article, therefore, proposes a mashup development framework that is oriented toward the End-User Development. Given the fundamental role of user interfaces (UIs) as a medium easily understandable by the end users, the proposed approach is characterized by UI-centric models able to support a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) specification of data integration and service orchestration. It, therefore, contributes to the definition of adequate abstractions that, by hiding the technology and implementation complexity, can be adopted by the end users in a kind of "democratic" paradigm for mashup development. This article also shows how model-to-code generative techniques translate models into application schemas, which in turn guide the dynamic instantiation of the composite applications at runtime. This is achieved through lightweight execution environments that can be deployed on the Web and on mobile devices to support the pervasive use of the created applications.

“…Thus, we call them Task-Enabling Containers (TECs). To create such flexible environments, a model has been presented in [18] that permits easy transition of information between different contexts; this model implements some of the Transformative User eXperience (TUX) principles described in [19,20]. …”

“…The proposed model refines and extends the one presented in [4], where the authors defined the modelling abstractions on which their composition paradigm is based. Our model has been iteratively refined by adding further components starting from requirements we gathered during our research, e.g., a different way to integrate service data by means of more powerful data mashup operations join and union, the integration of some Transformative User eXperience principles [19,20], and the polymorphic data sources based on Linked Open Data. The new model is depicted in Figure 5.…”

-Developing interactive systems is a very tough task. In particular, the development of user interfaces (UIs) is one of the most time consuming aspects in the software lifecycle. Software development is more and more moving toward composite applications. In this paper, we present a mashup model that enables the integration at the presentation layer of specific UI components. As application of this model, a mashup platform has been developed that allows non-technical end users to create component-based interactive workspaces via the aggregation and manipulation of data fetched from distributed online resources, also enabling the collaborative creation and use of distributed interactive workspaces. It is shown in this paper how the developed platform permits the rapid prototyping of interactive applications enabling the access to Web services and APIs.
