The purpose of this paper is to present a description based mashup approach for integration of mobile applications, Web services, and Web applications in order to realize cooperation of mobile devices. We define a description language called C-MAIDL for describing logic of mashup. We use a mashup generator for generating mashup applications from the description. We aim to allow composition of existing mobile applications, extracted information from Web pages and RESTful Web services. We use a mashup execution environment to automate cooperation among devices. Finally, we demonstrate that our approach allows users to create mobile mashup applications dealing with cooperation of devices easily and efficiently.

Abstract. Recently, the study of mobile mashup has become important in mobile computing. Mashup approaches were proposed to allow users to create mashup for mobile devices. However, existing approaches still lack attention to enable mashup for cooperation of mobile devices. We present a descriptionbased mashup construction approach for cooperation of mobile devices. Our approach allows end-users to create mobile mashup applications by integrating mobile applications, Web applications and Web services. We define a mashup description language for describing logic of mashup. We use a mashup generator to simplify mashup construction. We also present a mashup execution environment to automate information sharing for cooperation of mobile devices.

“…Later in complex mashup examples, we show how the composed TeWS is applied to platform-independent communications between devices. In addition to the main composition tool, the Web extraction assistant tool (WXTractor) in this research is created based on methods of Web APIs and Web automation [9] and partial information extraction [10]. The tool automatically generates mashup execution parameters for MAIDL from an annotated tag of an HTML document.…”

Abstract. This paper presents a development and an evaluation of a mobile mashup generator system to compose mobile mashup applications and Tethered Web services on a mobile device (TeWS). With less programming efforts, our system and description language framework enables a rapid development, a reusability of working components and a delivery of new cooperative mobile mashup applications. Working components in the mashup execution are derived from a combination of existent mobile applications, JavaScript automated Web page data extractions, and RESTful Web service consumptions. The state of art generator system is evaluated with novice and expert composer groups, to validate the usability of the system and the expressibility of our Mobile Application Interface Description Language (MAIDL). Complex mashup examples are provided to demonstrate new cooperative applications of generated Web services, which enable platform-independent functionality exchange across devices via tethered HTTP communications.
