    Simplified SPARQL REST API - CRUD on JSON Object Graphs via URI Paths

    Full text link
    Within the Semantic Web community, SPARQL is one of the predominant languages to query and update RDF knowledge. However, the complexity of SPARQL, the underlying graph structure and various encodings are common sources of confusion for Semantic Web novices. In this paper we present a general purpose approach to convert any given SPARQL endpoint into a simple to use REST API. To lower the initial hurdle, we represent the underlying graph as an interlinked view of nested JSON objects that can be traversed by the API path.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, ESWC 2018 demo pape

    From mashups to telco mashups: A survey

    Get PDF
    Given their increasing popularity and novel requirements and characteristics, telco mashups deserve an analysis that goes beyond what's available for mashups in general. Here, the authors cluster telco services into different types, analyze their features, derive a telco mashup reference architecture, and survey how well existing mashup tools can respond to these mashups' novel needs. © 2012 IEEE

    Analyse des mécanismes de découverte de services avec prise en charge du contexte et de l'intention

    National audienceAvec la démocratisation des dispositifs et des réseaux mobiles, les systèmes d'information deviennent pervasifs. Les utilisateurs de ces systèmes doivent désormais évoluer dans de véritables espaces de services, dans lesquels plusieurs services sont offerts. Afin d'améliorer la transparence des systèmes d'information pervasifs, nous proposons une nouvelle approche pour ces systèmes, à la fois sensible au contexte et intentionnelle. Dans cette approche, les services offerts par ces systèmes sont proposés afin de satisfaire à une intention, laquelle correspond à l'expression d'un but utilisateur, dans un contexte donné. Pour valider cette approche, nous développons actuellement une plate-forme de découverte de services basée sur une extension de OWL-S qui intègre ces notions. Grâce à des résultats expérimentaux, nous analysons l'impact de l'usage de ces notions de contexte et d'intention dans la sélection de services et démontrons l'intérêt de notre approche dans la découverte des services

    A Classification of BPEL Extensions

    The Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) has emerged as de-facto standard for business processes implementation. This language is designed to be extensible for including additional valuable features in a standardized manner. There are a number of BPEL extensions available. They are, however, neither classified nor evaluated with respect to their compliance to the BPEL standard. This article fills this gap by providing a framework for classifying BPEL extensions, a classification of existing extensions, and a guideline for designing BPEL extensions

    Implementation of an automatic deployment mechanism of convergent services on JSLEE environment

    Get PDF
    En la actualidad los operadores de telecomunicaciones han incrementado el uso de recursos provenientes de diferentes fuentes, tales como facilidades de la web, contenidos generados por diversos proveedores, aplicaciones y servicios de terceros. Esta convergencia de servicios, aplicaciones y dispositivos ha propiciado en el operador telco la necesidad de contar con entornos para la entrega de servicios y de estrategias que faciliten el rápido despliegue de servicios convergentes [CS]. En este sentido, el presente artículo propone un mecanismo de despliegue de CS en entornos JSLEE, el cual, de manera automática, ejecuta los procesos de activación, configuración, selección e instalación del servicio. Con el fin de evaluar experimentalmente esta aproximación –y presentar sus aportes–, se realizó una prueba de desempeño del algoritmo propuesto.Nowadays, telecom operators are drawing on resources from web, content provider and third party applications. This convergence on services, applications and devices has carried to Telco operator to consider convergent service [CS] provision platforms that making deployment process faster and easier. Hence, this paper proposes a CS deployment mechanism in JSLEE environments which executes in an automatic way the activation, configuration, selection and installation process on the service. In order to experimentally assess our mechanism, we made a performance test with intent to illustrate ours contributions

    Conceptual development of custom, domain-specific mashup platforms

    Despite the common claim by mashup platforms that they enable end-users to develop their own software, in practice end-users still don't develop their own mashups, as the highly technical or inexistent user bases of today's mashup platforms testify. The key shortcoming of current platforms is their general-purpose nature, that privileges expressive power over intuitiveness. In our prior work, we have demonstrated that a domainspecific mashup approach, which privileges intuitiveness over expressive power, has much more potential to enable end-user development (EUD). The problem is that developing mashup platforms - domain-specific or not - is complex and time consuming. In addition, domain-specific mashup platforms by their very nature target only a small user basis, that is, the experts of the target domain, which makes their development not sustainable if it is not adequately supported and automated. With this article, we aim to make the development of custom, domain-specific mashup platforms costeffective. We describe a mashup tool development kit (MDK) that is able to automatically generate a mashup platform (comprising custom mashup and component description languages and design-time and runtime environments) from a conceptual design and to provision it as a service. We equip the kit with a dedicated development methodology and demonstrate the applicability and viability of the approach with the help of two case studies. © 2014 ACM

    KomBInoS - Modellgetriebene Entwicklung von multimodalen Dialogschnittstellen für Smart Services

    Get PDF
    Diese Arbeit ist angesiedelt im Kontext der drei Forschungsgebiete Smart Service Welt, Modellgetriebene Softwareentwicklung und Intelligente Benutzerschnittstellen. Das Ziel der Arbeit war die Entwicklung eines ganzheitlichen Ansatzes zur effizienten Erstellung von multimodalen Dialogschnittstellen für Smart Services. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wurde mit KomBInoS ein umfassendes Rahmenwerk zur modellgetriebenen Erstellung solcher Benutzerschnittstellen entwickelt. Das Rahmenwerk besteht aus: (1) einer Metamodell-Architektur, welche sowohl eine modellgetriebene Entwicklung als auch die Komposition von multimodalen Dialogschnittstellen für Smart Services erlaubt, (2) einem methodischen Vorgehen, welches aus aufeinander abgestimmten Modelltransformationen, möglichen Kompositionsschritten und manuellen Entwicklungstätigkeiten besteht, sowie (3) einer integrierten Werkzeugkette als Implementierung der Methode. Es wurde außerdem eine cloud-fähige Laufzeitumgebung zur mobilen Nutzung der so erstellten Benutzerschnittstellen entwickelt. Als Proof-of-Concept werden acht Beispielanwendungen und Demonstratoren aus fünf Forschungsprojekten vorgestellt. Zusätzlich zur Smart Service Welt fand und findet KomBInoS auch Anwendung im Bereich der Industrie 4.0.This work is located in the context of the three research areas Smart Service World, Model-Driven Software Development and Intelligent User Interfaces. The aim of the work was to develop a holistic approach for the efficient creation of multimodal dialogue interfaces for Smart Services. To achieve this goal, KomBInoS was developed as a comprehensive framework for the model-driven creation of such user interfaces. The framework consists of: (1) a metamodel architecture that allows both model-driven development and the composition of multimodal dialogue interfaces for Smart Services, (2) a methodical approach consisting of coordinated model transformations, possible compositional steps and manual development activities, as well as (3) an integrated tool chain as an implementation of the method. Furthermore, a cloud-enabled runtime environment was developed for mobile use of the user interfaces created in this way. As proof-of-concept, eight sample applications and demonstrators from five research projects will be presented. In addition to the Smart Service Welt, KomBInoS was and is also used in the field of industry 4.0

    Graph-based Pattern Matching and Discovery for Process-centric Service Architecture Design and Integration

    Get PDF
    Process automation and applications integration initiatives are often complex and involve significant resources in large organisations. The increasing adoption of service-based architectures to solve integration problems and the widely accepted practice of utilising patterns as a medium to reuse design knowledge motivated the definition of this work. In this work a pattern-based framework and techniques providing automation and structure to address the process and application integration problem are proposed. The framework is a layered architecture providing modelling and traceability support to different abstraction layers of the integration problem. To define new services - building blocks of the integration solution - the framework includes techniques to identify process patterns in concrete process models. Graphs and graph morphisms provide a formal basis to represent patterns and their relation to models. A family of graph-based algorithms support automation during matching and discovery of patterns in layered process service models. The framework and techniques are demonstrated in a case study. The algorithms implementing the pattern matching and discovery techniques are investigated through a set of experiments from an empirical evaluation. Observations from conducted interviews to practitioners provide suggestions to enhance the proposed techniques and direct future work regarding analysis tasks in process integration initiatives
