Lash-Ups: A Toolkit for Location-Aware Mash-Ups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mash-ups of web content are a quickly growing in popularity due to an increasing amount of public APIs for web services. Similarly, web-enabled cellular phones are becoming increasingly pervasive. We present Lash-Ups, a toolkit that enables programmers to create mash-up-like locationaware web services for phones. This toolkit solves two fundamental problems. First, it provides a simple, standard API for programmers to use locations of users as an input to their Lash-Ups. Second, it provides a way for programmers to distribute their Lash-Ups to users based on location. We support both pushand pull-based applications, and our platform runs on commodity GSM cellular phones.

A Web 2.0 Platform to Enable Context-Aware Mobile Mash-Ups
Context-aware systems allow users to access services and multimedia data according to their current context (location, identity, preferences). Web 2.0 fosters user contribution and presents the web as an application programming platform where third parties can create new applications (mash-ups) mixing the functionality offered by others. We deem that applying Web 2.0 principles to the developme...
متن کاملMash-ups and CSCW: opportunities and issues
In this workshop, we explore emerging research themes in web mash-ups which are relevant to CSCW research. Web mash-ups are web sites which combine data or services from more than one source into an integrated whole. The mash-up community resembles open-source communities and likewise could benefit from further study. We explore several themes in and related to mash-ups which connect to core re...
متن کاملDeclaratively Producing Data Mash-ups
Mash-ups extract data fragments from disparate sources, and combine and transform the extracted fragments for display. Currently, mash-up developers tend to employ ad hoc representations for mash-up data, view mash-ups as applications, and use imperative scripts to extract and transform data fragments. These approaches can make mash-up development hard, and the mash-ups’ run-time performance po...
متن کاملDefinition of a Web 2.0 Gateway for 3rd Party Service Access to Next Generation Networks
Modern telecommunication networks and classical roles of operators are subject to fundamental change. Many network operators are currently seeking for new sources to generate revenue by exposing network capabilities to 3rd party service providers. At the same time we can observe that applications on the World Wide Web (WWW) are becoming more mature in terms of the definition of APIs that are of...
