“…Asking the users to define a dataflow or control-flow logic, even assuming they would be able to understand these technical concepts, is not realistic [Angeli et al 2011]. Some studies about users' expectations and the usability of mashup composition environments [Namoun et al 2010a] highlighted fundamental issues concerning the conceptual understanding of service composition.…”

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.

“…Furthermore, the live environment enables widgets to communicate with each other, providing added value to the otherwise static set of widgets [7]. This is fundamentally different from current practice, in which composition is typically based on explicit composition models [3]. Instead of manipulating abstract modeling constructs (which are relatively intuitive to experts, but may not have any meaning to end users) representing software artifacts, the live environment allows end users to directly manipulate the software artifacts (the widgets).…”

With the success of Web 2.0 we are witnessing a growing number of services and APIs exposed by Telecom, IT and content providers. Targeting the Web community and, in particular, Web application developers, service providers expose capabilities of their infrastructures and applications in order to open new markets and to reach new customer groups. However, due to the complexity of the underlying technologies, the last step, i.e., the consumption and integration of the offered services, is a non-trivial and timeconsuming task that is still a prerogative of expert developers. Although many approaches to lower the entry barriers for end users exist, little success has been achieved so far. In this paper, we introduce the OMELETTE 1 project and show how it addresses end-user-oriented telco mashup development. We present the goals of the project, describe its contributions, summarize current results, and describe current and future work.

“…Understanding this logic is neither trivial nor intuitive. Motivated by a user study on how end users imagine assistance during mashup development [3], we assist the modeler in each step of his development task by means of interactive, contextual recommendations of composition knowledge. The knowledge is re-usable composition patterns, i.e., frequently occurred composition fragments of previous successful mashup models.…”

Despite the recent progresses in end-user development and particularly in mashup application development, developing even simple mashups is still non-trivial and requires intimate knowledge about the functionality of web APIs and services, their interfaces, parameter settings, data mappings, and so on. We aim to assist less skilled developers in composing own mashups by interactively recommending composition knowledge in the form of modeling patterns and fostering knowledge reuse. Our prototype system demonstrates our idea of interactive recommendation and automated pattern weaving, which involves recommending relevant composition patterns to the users during development, and once selected, applying automatically the changes as suggested in the selected pattern to the mashup model under development. The experimental evaluation of our prototype implementation demonstrates that even complex composition patterns can be efficiently stored, queried and weaved into the model under development in browser-based mashup tools.
