Automatic web-based user interface delivery for SOA-based systems

Abstract

In the paper a method for ontology enhanced web-based user interface generation for SOA systems is presented. SOA paradigm defines a set of methodologies for building a software out of interoperable services. These services usually have an interactive character so in consequence they need a corresponding user interface to be delivered. Today these interfaces are implemented by the software designers and programmers manually or semi-automatically. We present in this paper the corresponding functionalities of the up-to-date sophisticated systems for service oriented systems design and implementation. Today, however there is a great need for more flexible user interface authoring and automatic generation, which is based on the services input and output parameters and their ontology-based description. © Springer-Verlag 2013.
