Title
Management, sharing and reuse of service-based mobile applications
Abstract
The MicroApp Generator (MAG) environment automatically creates mobile applications directly on the smartphone, following a service composition approach. A MicroApp is constituted by a sequence of steps, where each step requires the execution of a single service. A MicroApp is designed by visually composing its application model. In this paper we describe how the MicroApps are managed by the MicroApp Store, a digital distribution platform for MicroApps, aiming at empowering the end-users by enabling them not only to create new applications, but also to share them with other users. Thus, each user can download the graphical application models designed by others and reuse them to create new customized applications, without the requirement of programming skills. We also detail how REST-style Web services can be encapsulated to compose MicroApps.
