MashSheet: Mashups in your spreadsheet

Abstract

We demonstrate MashSheet, a spreadsheet-based, generic purpose mashup development framework that allows users to create applications by using spreadsheet-like formulas. The key innovation of MashSheet is a collection of operators that supports orchestrating Web services, manipulating and visualising data created by the services. MashSheet applications are incrementally built and data in each intermediary step is only visualised when needed. It makes the mashup application concise and easy to follow, as well as keeping the computation logic separate from presentation. In the demo, we will show executions of mashup operators, along with use case applications from real-world scenarios. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
