Facilitating the Reactive Web - A Condition Action System using Node.js

Abstract

Abstract:The orchestration of the Web is a big issue for Web users all around the world. Web users have a high interest in services, which are able to personalise and customise the Web. However, for Web reactivity there exists only a few limited solutions that allow the aggregation of Web resources. This paper takes a look at existing eventbased methods that build upon Event-Condition-Action (ECA) Rules and Complex Event Processing (CEP). Moreover, this paper illustrates the architecture of a fully functioning Condition Action System prototype for the creation of reactivity in between Web resources. In a proof of concept, we could detect and determine the change interval of electronic newspaper headlines. With the proposed system, we are able to orchestrate Web resources e.g. Detecting Web Changes.
