Mashups

En savoir plus sur le livre

Mashups have become a significant software trend, reinterpreting existing web components and enabling novel, value-adding compositions. They also empower non-programmers to become developers. The authors provide the first comprehensive reference work on mashups, systematically covering key concepts and techniques in mashup design and development. They explore the synergies among various models at different abstraction levels and how these models translate into composition paradigms and architectures for development tools. The book balances scientific insights with practical technology applications. The first part introduces the theoretical and technological foundations for designing mashups and tools to aid in their development. The second part delves into specific aspects of mashups, discussing core component technologies, approaches, and architectural patterns, with a focus on model-driven architectures for tool-aided development. It also addresses development processes, composition paradigms for end-user development, and quality issues. This work appeals to a wide audience, including students, lecturers, and researchers seeking a comprehensive overview of mashup concepts and technologies. Practitioners like software architects will find valuable guidance on implementation concepts and development tools. A related website offers additional teaching materials for courses or self-study.
