Conference Proceeding: Web services enabling context-aware applications: lessons learned by integrating e-learning applications
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Context-aware applications assist users' everyday tasks by adapting their behavior based on context information obtained from instrumented environments. Context is any relevant information describing entities in a user-computer interaction (e.g. user location). The design and implementation of high-quality context management software is an area of active research. We have described elsewhere the context kernel, a Web service that manages context information on behalf of applications. In this paper, we present a case study of how the context kernel has been used to integrate a suite of e-learning applications. We show how the Web services approach allowed applications to seamlessly exchange context on the Web through a uniform context representation schema. We also present the lessons we learned from integrating e-learning applications via Web services.Next Generation Web Services Practices, 2005. NWeSP 2005. International Conference on; 09/2005 -

ABSTRACT: wVIEW is an automated system for generating Web applications that relies extensively on document representations and transformations. wVIEW adopts the widely accepted hypermedia design principle that content, navigation, and presentation are separate concerns. Each of these aspects of the design process is controlled by separate declarative specifications. Only the first specification, the content structure specification, which is described using UML, must be provided. However, the wVIEW user is free to add extensions and customization to both the data and navigation models, in order to make the final application suit specific needs. We describe the wVIEW approach and the current prototype which focuses on the data and navigation modelling aspects.WebMedia and LA-Web, 2004. Proceedings; 11/2004
