Mooshabaya mashup generator for XBaya

Abstract

Visual composition of workflows enables end user lo visually depict the workflow as a graph of activities in a process. Tools that support visual composition translate those visual models lo a traditional workflow languages such as IIP El. and executes I hem thus freeing the end user the need of knowing workflow languages Mashups on the other hand, provide a lightweight mechanism for ordinary user centric service composition and creation, hence considered to have an active role in the web 2.11 paradigm. In this paper, we extend a visual workflow composition tool to support mashups, thus providing a comprehensive tooling platform for mashup development backed up by workflow style modeling capabilities, while expanding the reach of the workflow domain into web 2.0 resources with the potential of the mashups Furthermore, our work opens up a new possibility of converging the mashup domain and workflow domain, thus capturing beneficial aspects from each domain.
