An SBVR Framework for RESTful Web Applications

We propose a framework that can be used to produce functioning web applications from SBVR models. To achieve this, we begin by discussing the concept of declarative application generation and examining the commonalities between SBVR and the RESTful architectural style of the web. We then show how a relational database schema and RESTful interface can be generated from an SBVR model. In this context, we discuss how SBVR can be used to semantically describe hypermedia on the Web and enhance its evolvability and loose coupling properties. Finally, we show that this system is capable of exhibiting process-like behaviour without requiring explicitly defined processes

Exploring Spatial Business Data: A ROA Based eCampus Application

In Smart environments development, providing users with search utilities for interacting efficiently with web and wireless devices is a key goal. At smaller scales, Google Maps and Google Earth with satellite and street views have helped users for querying general information at specific locations. However, at larger local scales, where detailed 3D geometries linked to business data are needed, there is a recognized lack of related information and functionality for in depth exploration of an area. Linking spatial data and business data helps to enrich the user experience by fulfilling more task specific user needs. This paper presents an eCampus Demonstrator for the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM) based on a Resource Oriented Architecture (ROA), in which various RESTful web-services have been developed and deployed for querying both spatial data and associated business data. The benefits and drawbacks of the chosen technologies are also discussed. This work can be considered as a platform that can be applied to similar application domains such as exploring business parks, hospitals, museums, etc

A Context Lifecycle for Web-Based Context Management Services

Abstract. During the development of context aware applications a context management component must traditionally be created. This task requires specialist context lifecycle management expertise and hence can be a significant deterrent to application development. It also removes the developers focus from differentiation of their application to an oft repeated development task. This issue can be addressed by encapsulating the context management lifecycle within a web-service, thus providing applications with a low-overhead alternative to managing their context data. The adoption of a web-based approach maximizes the potential number of interacting applications, including smart spaces, web and mobile applications, due to ease of access and widespread support of web technologies. The contribution of this paper is the development of a lifecycle, based on existing work on enterprise data and context aware lifecycles, which is optimized for web-based context management services (WCXMS) and the provision of a web-service implementation of the lifecycle. context data, lifecycle, webtechnologies, context manage-Keywords: ment

Beneftis of modularity and module level tests

Many companies implement a modular architecture to support the need to create more variants with less effort. Although the modular architecture has many benefits, the tests to detect any defects become a major challenge. However, a modular architecture with defined functional elements seems beneficial to test at module level, so called MPV (Module Property Verification). This paper presents studies from 29 companies with the purpose of showing trends in the occurrence of defects and how these can support the MPV
