Abstract:
With the success of Web 2.0 we are witnessing a growing
number of services and APIs exposed by Telecom, IT and
content providers. Targeting the Web community and, in
particular, Web application developers, service providers ex-
pose capabilities of their infrastructures and applications
in order to open new markets and to reach new customer
groups. However, due to the complexity of the underly-
ing technologies, the last step, i.e., the consumption and
integration of the oered services, is a non-trivial and time-
consuming task that is still a prerogative of expert develop-
ers. Although many approaches to lower the entry barriers
for end users exist, little success has been achieved so far.
In this paper, we introduce the OMELETTE
1
project and
show how it addresses end-user-oriented telco mashup de-
velopment. We present the goals of the project, describe
its contributions, summarize current results, and describe
current and future work.
