6th International Workshop on Web APIs and Service Mashups
(Mashups 2012) at ESOCC 2012
19 September 2012, Bertinoro, Italy
http://mashups2012.aifb.kit.edu
Services computing and Web 2.0 are converging into a
programmable Web today. The interaction and integration of
services computing and Web 2.0 technologies, however, exposes
various complexities that have to be faced. This workshop
looks specifically at Services Mashups – end-user-oriented
compositions of Web APIs, Web content and Web data sources.
BACKGROUND
The continuous proliferation of many Web APIs together with
the social changes that are taking place in the last years are
contributing to turn the Web into a programmable Web. An
interesting consequence of this programmable feature is that
it empowers end-user to build new data and services from the
combination of resources that are available in the Web
providing a higher-level value than the original exposed APIs.
A classical example of a Mashup consists in combining mapping
APIs (e.g., Google Maps) and Atom data APIs (e.g. from New
York Times) to provide a new service that displays listing on
the map. The resulting Web applications, or mashups, add a new
value to the combined Web APIs that was not initially
conceived for them individually.
While mashups have taken off and 1000s of them are currently
available for various purposes, there still remain various
challenges and opportunities that, if properly addressed,
would make mashup development more feasible and popular. Some
of the main challenges are:
1. Devising programming models (languages, frameworks,
platforms) for the composition of Web-accessible services and
data of all kinds and architectural styles (REST, Atom, RSS,
AtomPub, and SOAP/WSDL) and development of integrated
user-interfaces 2. Ensuring quality of service for mashups,
including performance, reliability, and security 3.
Understanding social and economic factors in the creation,
acceptance, and sustainability of services mashups, including
software-as-services markets, services marketplaces and
intermediaries, digital communities, and pricing, incentive
and contracting models 4. Integrating mashups into social
computing platforms, such as Facebook and OpenSocial-enabled
social networks, which provide a huge user base with profiles
and social graphs data 5. Scaling mashups, e.g., taking
advantage of the cloud computing infrastructure 6. Providing
the necessary primitives to secure resulting data from mashups
and also ensure privacy of the original data and APIs 7.
Simplifying platforms and tools to a point that mashups could
be generated by end-users with minimal efforts 8. Enabling
mashups for mobile platforms, such as smartphones, which also
expose interesting new kind of information such as location
and profile data
In this sixth edition of the Mashups Workshop we will solicit
contributions addressing these issues and aim to bring
together several relevant communities from academia and
industry working on a) mashup-based applications, b) generic
and domain-specific mashup tools, platforms and
infrastructure, c) cross-cutting concerns of software service
engineering and d) related topics from areas like social
networking or economics.
We plan to continue the tradition of the previous Mashups
workshops (2007 in Vienna, 2008 in Sydney, 2009 in Orlando,
2010 in Cyprus, 2011 in Lugano), not only selecting a broad
range of papers in the space but also getting keynote speakers
from leading industry groups that are currently offering
mashup tools and platforms for wide-consumptions and
availability.
Contributors are invited to submit original research papers
addressing relevant aspects of mashup applications,
technologies and engineering. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to the following:
- Languages, frameworks, and platforms for the design,
implementation, testing and maintenance of services mashups,
including dynamic languages and frameworks
- New approaches to mashup construction: dataflow-, document-,
spreadsheet- and process-oriented mashups, end-user mashup
development, mashups on the cloud
- Novel applications of mashups, e.g., mobile mashups,
location-aware mashups, wiki-based mashups
- Specific service mashup application and technology examples
with respect to design, architecture, implementation,
usability and user-experience
- Mashups within social software platforms, e.g., OpenSocial
or Facebook
- Mashups within and across enterprises
- Quality of service and mashups: performance, reliability,
security, and other non-functional aspects
- Analysis of and experience with services mashups (creation,
deployment, and usage) from social and economic perspectives;
services markets and marketplaces, digital communities,
pricing and contracting models
- Experience reports on short-term and long-term maintenance
and evolution of mashups
Peer-reviewed workshop papers will be published as part of the
ACM Digital Library. Two kinds of contributions are sought:
short position papers (not to exceed 4 pages) describing
particular challenges or experiences relevant to the scope of
the workshop, and full research papers (not to exceed 8 pages)
describing novel solutions to relevant problems and are to be
submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mashups2012).
