A Formalization of the End User Service Development Approach
The end user service development known as the user-centric SOA emerged as a new approach that allows giving the end user the ability to create on the fly his own applications that meet a situational need. In fact, the classical SOA was designed for developers and is characterized by a heavy technical stack which is out of reach of end users. Lightweight Web 2.0 technologies such as Mashup appeared to bridge this gap and provide a new agile and quick way to compose and integrate different resources in a dynamic and on the fly manner. However, Mashups are emerging applications, and thus consist of immature, non intuitive and non formalized area. In this paper, we formalize the user-centric SOA development by proposing a new cloud-based architecture for user-centric SOA platforms, and by introducing a new rich integration language based on the advanced Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPS). We also propose a new intuitive and self-explanatory semantic process for end users services integration.
Keywords: SOA, Mashup, integration patterns, end user development, end user satisfaction, intuitiveness, Cloud Computing.
