WISHFUL AND WISDOM AWARE COMPOSING - A Full User-centric Approach to Create NGM

Abstract

Nowadays, it's possible to find huge amounts of steadily increasing web resources. Service composition languages and tools are widely used for creating compositions of multiple services in order to meet the user's requirements in the cases when a single Web service does not perform a required task. However, despite the relative intuitiveness of currently the available tools, they still require a careful manual assembly of a composition flow by the end-user, thus requiring some technical knowledge on the functioning of each individual component. We provide a full user-centric approach to create NGMs (Next Generation Mashups) interactively through W2AC (Wishful and Wisdom-Aware Composing): First, end-user wishes are considered, then a composition knowledge is extracted from existing reputable mashups created by skilled users. Thus, end-users are able to easily generate their own NGM in a fully customized fashion.
