Composing web APIs: State of the art and mobile implications (tutorial)

Abstract

The aim of the tutorial is to make early and experienced researchers aware of the Web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) technology area in general and composing them in particular. This area offers a rich avenue for applying mobile (e.g., location-based, energy-efficiency), software (rapid prototyping, quality-of-service, life cycle) and AI techniques (e.g., planning, semantics, knowledge representation, logic, trust, learning and agents). We aim to provide an insightful overview and whet the audiences' interest to undertake new efforts in building useful (mobile) applications for fun and profit and push the art on important open issues.
