Currently, the development of Web APIs is rather autonomous, guided by no established standards or rules, and Web API documentation is commonly not based on an interface description language such as WSDL, but is rather given directly in HTML as part of a web page. As a result, the use of Web APIs requires extensive manual effort and the wealth of existing work on supporting common service tasks, including discovery, composition and invocation, can hardly be reused or adapted to APIs. Before we can achieve a higher level of automation and can make any significant improvement to current practices and technologies, we need to reach a deeper understanding of these. Therefore, in this paper we present a thorough analysis of the current landscape of Web API forms and descriptions, which has up-to-date remained unexplored. We base our findings on manually examining a body of publicly available APIs and, as a result, provide conclusions about common description forms, output types, usage of API parameters, invocation support, level of reusability, API granularity and authentication details. The collected data provides a solid basis for identifying deficiencies and realising how we can overcome existing limitations. More importantly, our analysis can be used as a basis for devising common standards and guidelines for Web API development.","PeriodicalId":239109,"journal":{"name":"2010 Eighth IEEE European Conference on Web Services","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133894583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oster, Ganesh Ram Santhanam, Samik Basu","doi":"10.1109/ECOWS.2010.15","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ECOWS.2010.15","url":null,"abstract":"Many approaches to the Web service composition problem benefit from their use of formal methods to guarantee the correctness of the composite services that they produce, but these approaches often require the functionality of the composite service to be specified using one particular formalism (e.g., goal graphs, temporal logic, pre-/post-conditions). As a result, each of these existing approaches falls short in realizing a composite service when the required functionality cannot be fully expressed in the supported formalism. To overcome this problem, we propose a new formal meta-framework that (a) is capable of reusing any existing formalisms and (b) allows the use of functional requirements that are currently not expressible in any one formalism. Our technique assumes that any functional requirement can be decomposed and expressed as a boolean combination of \"atomic\" requirements, which are representable in at least one existing formalism. Based on this assumption, we use existing methods to identify sets of Web services that conform to the atomic requirements. Our meta-framework then identifies compositions that conform to the overall functional requirement by (a) employing satisfiability techniques to prune the (exponentially large) space of possible compositions and (b) building workable compositions from satisfiable sets of services. As a result, our meta-framework allows for easy and effective memorization of prior composition results, thereby enhancing the efficiency of generating new compositions.","PeriodicalId":239109,"journal":{"name":"2010 Eighth IEEE European Conference on Web Services","volume":"41 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133753400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, applications processing large amounts of data is a topic recently gaining more and more attention. The use of high performance computing capabilities, e.g., provided by Grid environments, is an obvious choice to speed up the processing time. Currently, most of the input data required in such Grid applications is freely accessible by standard Grid technology. However, many upcoming applications for Grid Computing require data provided under a specific license, also leading to license violations on a regular basis, because license compliance can currently not be validated. Data under a specific license is often retrieved from outside the Grid over individual portals directly from a content provider or distributor. Beside the additional efforts for user and security management, such external distribution approaches prevent an association between the license information and the content. In this work, the internal distribution approach for licensed content in Grid environments (License4Grid) is designed, maintaining the association between the license information and the corresponding data. The design respects the requirements emerging from handling either unprotected and protected content and makes use of the user and security mechanisms provided by common Grid technologies in order to fit into the environment homogeneously.","PeriodicalId":239109,"journal":{"name":"2010 Eighth IEEE European Conference on Web Services","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116135261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces the latest version of the Unified Service Description Language (USDL), a domain-independent service description language aimed at all of the above-mentioned types of service, from both a business and a technical perspective. For the latter is already captured by widely adopted service description standards, such as WSDL and WS-BPEL, USDL does leverage those languages. Apart from aggregating technical information, a service provider can use USDL to describe business-related properties, capabilities and non-functional characteristics, enabling consumers to invoke and use business services and intermediaries to repurpose services. USDL has been developed mainly by SAP Research, which is driving its standardization with other stakeholders. This paper gives an overview of the USDL language and presents an editor to define and serialize USDL service descriptions.","PeriodicalId":239109,"journal":{"name":"2010 Eighth IEEE European Conference on Web Services","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133591839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
