Description-Based Mashup Generation Systems for Cooperation of Mobile Applications, Web Services, and Web Applications

如今，我们在智能手机中有许多有用的移动应用程序，以及Web服务功能或Web上的Web应用程序。不幸的是，要将它们集成起来实现一个新的应用程序并不容易。传统的Mashup技术仅限于在Web上集成Web服务功能，或将移动应用集成到一部手机中，我们开发了一系列移动Mashup应用生成系统，可以将移动应用、Web服务功能和Web应用集成在一台移动设备或不同的设备上。生成的混搭应用程序的一个典型示例是显示三个移动电话用户位置中心点附近的一家餐厅。我们还通过使用绑定的mashup应用程序发现了一种用于多设备mashup的新组合方法。这种方式让我们可以实现贫富移动设备之间各种功能的协同工作。

Nowadays we have many useful mobile applications inside smart phones, and Web service functions or Web applications on the Web. Unfortunately it is not easy yet to integrate them to realize a new application. Traditionally mashup technology was limited to integration of Web service functions on the Web, or integration of mobile applications inside one mobile phone.We developed a series of mobile mashup application generation systems, which may allow us to integrate mobile applications, Web service functions and Web applications within one mobile device or different devices. One typical example of generated mashup applications is to show a restaurant near the central point of three mobile phone user locations. We also discovered a new composition approach for multiple-device mashups via the use of tethered mashup applications. This approach allows us to realize cooperation of various functions among rich and poor mobile devices.
