Mashup of components made available on the Web is gaining more and more interest as an opportunity to integrate contents and application logics from independent sources in new, short-living and situational applications. These applications are usually meant to fill immediate needs and should be built according to simplified composition paradigms. Although existing mashup frameworks, like IBM Lotus Mashup or Yahoo! Pipes, provide valid solutions that make it easy to compose new applications, designers often have to deal with large and heterogeneous component repositories. Components are manually selected and combined, still requiring a support for their efficient selection and integration. In this context, we propose to use semantic annotation of components apt to abstract from the heterogeneity of underlying APIs. Then, we describe techniques for building a mashup component repository where semantically annotated components are organized according to similarity and coupling links. Finally, we discuss interactive, computer-aided design of mashup applications.

Abstract
Mashup of components made available on the Web is gaining more and more interest as an opportunity to integrate contents and application logics from independent sources in new, short-living and situational applications. These applications are usually meant to fill immediate needs and should be built according to simplified composition paradigms. Although existing mashup frameworks, like IBM Lotus Mashup or Yahoo! Pipes, provide valid solutions that make it easy to compose new applications, designers often have to deal with large and heterogeneous component repositories. Components are manually selected and combined, still requiring a support for their efficient selection and integration. In this context, we propose to use semantic annotation of components apt to abstract from the heterogeneity of underlying APIs. Then, we describe techniques for building a mashup component repository where semantically annotated components are organized according to similarity and coupling links. Finally, we discuss interactive, computer-aided design of mashup applications.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
