Tool support for a hybrid development methodology of service-based interactive applications

Abstract

In recent years promising approaches that provide the graphical development of service-based interactive applications were presented, but they still lack of simple platform-independent modeling and variability. We address this issue by exploiting the concept of service annotations to establish a hybrid development methodology that relies on a novel concept named temporal annotations to specify the applications navigation flow. To facilitate the development methodology, we present a graphical authoring tool. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
