“…Several studies [1,12,15,19,23,33,36,37,46] define Web 1.0 as the first generation of the web, which is mainly focused on static information and read-only web; this generation allows users to connect webs in order to share information and knowledge. This web was created by Tim Burners-Lee in 1989.…”

Technology has become an essential element of many sectors ranging from business to education as a means by which people connect, communicate and collaborate with one another; moreover, this type of connection is easy and accessible both locally and globally. Currently, web technologies have streamlined and strengthened links worldwide, allowing people to interact to distribute information and practices. There is no doubt that the second generation of the internet called Web 2.0 has been used by various sectors since businesses have become highly dependent on this technology which enables collaboration between reader and writer. Social networking (SN) is an example of one of the best aspects of the Web 2 revolution. Currently, educational institutions are in the process of introducing social networking as a teaching and learning tool by adopting a specific platform (i.e. wiki; blog; discussion board etc.) especially regarding assessments, as a means of improving students' personal skills (i.e. motivation; leadership; negotiation, communication, problem solving, time management, and reflection) and professional skills (i.e. reading. writing, research, information, critical thinking, decision making technology, digital oral presentation, visual representations and teamwork) to enhance students' learning in the academic environment and to prepare them for the workplace in the future. This chapter will examine and discuss the history of the Internet, the history of social networking and its various web types, and social networking applications which are relevant to and useful in the education sector.

“…Among the ones mainly focusing on the Web we can cite: (i) The Web Modelling Language (WebML) [5], defined as a conceptual model for data-intensive Web applications and conceived as a high level, implementation-independent conceptual model accompanied by the associated design environment, called WebRatio [1]; (ii) W2000 (formerly HDM) [2] which introduced a notion of model-based design, clearly separating the activities of authoring in-the-large (hypertext schema design) and authoring in-the-small (page and content production); (iii) OO-HDM [17], a UML-based approach for modeling and implementing Web application interfaces; (iv) Araneus [12], a modeling proposal for Web applications that allows one to represent the hypertext organization, with nested relations and inter-page links; (v) Web Application Extension for UML (WAE) [6], a UML extension for describing Web application interfaces and the client-server interactions; (vi) WebDSL [7], a domain-specific language consisting of a core language with constructs to define entities, pages and business logic, plus extensions; (vii) OO-HMETHOD [8], based on UML interaction diagrams; (viii) Hera [20], a model-driven design approach and specification framework focusing on the development of context-dependent or personalized Web information system. More traditional methods for user interface design use state machines (in different flavours) as the underlying formalism, such as Jacob [9], Leung et al [10] and StateWebCharts [21].…”

Abstract. Front-end design of mobile applications is a complex and multidisciplinary task, where many perspectives intersect and the user experience must be perfectly tailored to the application objectives. However, development of mobile user interactions is still largely a manual task, which yields to high risks of errors, inconsistencies and inefficiencies. In this paper we propose a model-driven approach to mobile application development based on the IFML standard. We propose an extension of the Interaction Flow Modeling Language tailored to mobile applications and we describe our implementation experience that comprises the development of automatic code generators for cross-platform mobile applications based on HTML5, CSS and JavaScript optimized for the Apache Cordova framework. We show the approach at work on a popular mobile application, we report on the application of the approach on an industrial application development project and we provide a productivity comparison with traditional approaches.

“…Among the most notable and advanced model-driven web engineering tools we find, for instance, WebRatio [15] and VisualWade [16]. The former is based on a web-specific visual modeling language (WebML), the latter on an object-oriented modeling notation (OO-H).…”

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.
