A Form-based Approach for Web Services by Enduser-Initiative Application
Development
ABSTRACT of the paper : SAINT2002 Workshop (Web Service Engineering), IEEE
Computer Society, pp.196-203 (Feb. 2002).
The number of end-users using the Internet increases on the inside and outside
of offices. Enduser-initiative development of applications has become important
for automation of their own tasks. Especially, applications for web services
should be supported by business professionals themselves because web services
must be modified frequently.
This paper describes enduser-initiative
application development methodologies for the MOON(multiagent-oriented office
network) systems including window work in B-to-C and B-to-B electronic commerce.
The window work is considered as a metaphor of the interface between service
providers and their clients for web services. The frontend of the system is
constructed by a multi-agent framework. The back-end is developed by modeling
techniques. The multi-agent framework is a Java application framework and is
designed based on the simple concept that
gone service = one form.h
It provides form-based interfaces as a common XML-base protocol of {who,
what, how } for endusers, which protocol corresponds to the UDDI protocol of
{white, yellow, green } pages. Then form transformation from an input form into
output forms implies service integration. Prototyping for the front-end system
and the backend system is performed in Java and XML1.
