5th International Workshop on Web APIs and Service Mashups (Mashups 2011)
Agnes Koschmider, Erik Jan de Wilde, Christian Zirpins · 2011
Service computing and Web 2.0 are converging into a programmable as well as composable Web. This development provides the foundation for Service Mashups --- compositions of Web APIs, Web content and Web data sources. The result is a disruptive class of diversified, agile and interactive software systems that provide unprecedented user experience and allow new fields of application. However, the integration of service computing and Web 2.0 technologies exposes various complexities like programming models and methodologies, service models that are well-suited for mashups, platforms and ergonomics in different operational contexts, as well as economic and social environments. Addressing some or all of these issues is an ongoing area of research and innovation, as new platforms for service delivery and service implementation constantly enter the marketplace.
