Abstract

Mashup is a new application development pattern that integrates different resources such as data, service or api to construct application. Despite the emergence of mashup platforms like YahooPipes or Popfly, current platforms aim toward users with some programming knowledge. When facing a lot of components in the platform, common users without any programming knowledge always don't know how to begin. MashStudio aims to provide interactive assistance at every step during the development, in order to significantly improve the development efficiency and quality. To achieve this goal, we created a repository with collected mashup process (the composition logic information of a mashup) and analyzed these processes to find meaningful mashup process fragments, which are reusable and will be interactively recommended to users when building mashup. Moreover, MashStudio can provide the function of "just in time compilation" to help user find mistakes in time instead of after accomplished the whole mashup. Finally, the experimental evaluation demonstrates the efficiency and utility of our method.
