Challenge outcome and conclusion

In this final chapter, we report on the outcome of the ICWE 2016 Rapid Mashup Challenge (RMC), describe the voting system used, and draw some conclusions regarding the presented works

ICWE 2016 rapid mashup challenge: Introduction

The ICWE 2016 Rapid Mashup Challenge is the second installment of a series of challenges that aim to engage researchers and practitioners in showcasing and discussing their work on assisting mashup development. This introduction provides the reader with the general context of the Challenge, its objectives and motivation, and the requirements contributions were asked to satisfy so as to be eligible for participation. A summary of the contributions that were selected for presentation in the 2016 edition anticipates the content of the remainder of this volume

Einsatz Domänen-spezifischer Sprachen für Komponenten-basierte Web Anwendungen

In Projekten zur Entwicklung verteilter Web-basierter Systeme stellt die Spezifikation der zu entwickelnden Lösung eine zeitintensive Aufgabe dar, bei der häufig Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten zwischen Kunden, Anwendern und Entwicklern auftreten. Domänen-spezifische Sprachen (DSLs) bieten sich hier aufgrund ihrer Nähe zur Problemdomäne und der damit einhergehenden leichteren Erlernbarkeit und Verständlichkeit als ideale Alternative zu schwergewichtigen Modellierungsmethoden an. Dieser Beitrag präsentiert einen Ansatz zur Entwicklung von Web Anwendungen durch Komposition hochgradig konfigurierbarer Fachkomponenten und deren Konfiguration mittels DSLProgrammen

Construction by Linking: The Linkbase Method

The success of many innovative Web applications is not based on the content they produce – but on how they combine and link existing content. Older Web Engineering methods lack flexibility in a sense that they rely strongly on a-priori knowledge of existing content structures and do not take into account initially unknown content sources. We propose the adoption of principles that are also found in Component-based Software Engineering, to assemble highly extensible solutions from reusable artifacts. The main contribution of our work is a support system, consisting of a central service that manages n:m relationships between arbitrary Web resources, and of Web application components that realize navigation, presentation, and interaction for the linked content.
