“…The latter must be supported by the interface. This separation is consistent with the SOUI/SOFEA architectural style, where the interface flow (logic) is separated from the business logic (see for example [17]). Based on this separation of concerns, the Interface Model in SHDM [16] distinguishes the "essence" of the interface, determined by the needs of the business logic, from its look-and-feel, which determines how the interface supports the business logic.…”

Abstract. A currently recognized barrier for the wider adoption and dissemination of Semantic Web technologies is the absence of suitable interfaces and tools to allow suitable access by end-users. In a wider context, it has also been recognized that modern day interfaces must deal with a large number of heterogeneity factors, such as varying user profiles and runtime hardware and software platforms. This paper presents MIRA, a framework for defining and implementing Semantic Interfaces for Web applications, including those on the Semantic Web. A Semantic Interface is defined as being one capable of understanding and adapting to the data it presents and captures, and its schema, if present. Moreover, the interface must also be able to adapt to its context of usethe device being used, any available information about its user, network conditions, and so on. Using a model-driven approach, MIRA allows developers to define such interfaces, and generates code that can run on clients, servers or both. We have carried out a qualitative evaluation that shows that MIRA does indeed provide a better process for developers, without imposing any significant performance overhead.

The emergence of mashups made the reuse of applications easier by providing a simple solution to juxtapose applications. However, the resulting composite applications do not allow sharing data or create complex workflows. The only current way to do so is by composing applications at the functional level to create new services. Furthermore, user interfaces must be redesigned and regenerated in order to provide an interaction between user and this new service.This paper proposes a solution to this problem. The implemented approach enables to reuse user interfaces while composing services. This composition relies on a process that first abstracts the applications to be composed and the functional composition. Then, it achieves to a composition at the abstract level regenerating a concrete user interface in a target language. Also, thanks to a mixed-initiative composition framework, the several identified composition conflicts are then solved, either automatically or by a developer.

“…• Works only considering UI composition, either for defining specific toolkit for adaptive UI [9], either based on abstract definition of UI [8,3] or either adopting end-user programming [11], • Works only considering TM composition (composition of two task trees [4]), • Works deriving Tasks in FC composition and later in UI composition, because of generation UI from service annotation [7] or thanks to specific adaptable couple FC-UI [2] or deriving Tasks in UI [12] • And Works considering both FC and UI composition. The main goal in [13] is to maintain a stable UI for using a composition of volatile service.…”

Abstract. Ahead of the multiplication of specialized applications, needs for application composition increase. Each application can be described by a pair of a visible part -the User Interface (UI) -and a hidden part -the tasks and the Functional Core (FC). Few works address the problem of application composition by handling both visible and hidden parts at the same time. Our proposition described in this paper is to start from the visible parts of applications, their UIs, to build a new application while using information coming from UIs as well as from tasks. We base upon the semantic description of UIs to help the developer merge parts of former applications. We argue that this approach driven by the composition of UIs helps the user during the composition process and ensures the preservation of a usable UI for the resulting application.
