Mash-ups and CSCW: opportunities and issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 research areas in CSCW. Mashups have applicability to rapid prototyping and rapid application design methods and could be useful in participatory design practices. Through presentation and analysis of real mash-ups and discussion with mash-up developers, workshop attendees will help explore research opportunities for mash-ups in CSCW.

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...
