ICWE 2015 RAPID MASHUP CHALLENGE
http://mashup.inf.usi.ch/challenge/2015/ 

22 June 2015, Rotterdam, NL

Co-located with ICWE 2015: http://icwe2015.webengineering.org/ 

What’s the most complex, expressive and elegantly constructed mashup you can build in 10 minutes with your own tool, platform, approach?

The ICWE 2015 Rapid Mashup Challenge launches a competition between mashup approaches/tools with special attention to their expressiveness and speed. We invite developers and researchers working on mashups, mashup tools and assisting technologies to compete in the creation of the most interesting and/or complex mashup they can develop within a given time boundary, using a given set of source components. The goal of the Challenge is to allow everybody working on mashups and composite Web applications to showcase their ideas and solutions and to establish an event that is both challenging and fun.

We are interested in all kinds of mashup composition tools and approaches: from programming languages, domain-specific languages to natural language, from visual modeling tools to textual ones, etc. Submissions will be screened based on relevance, originality and maturity. Admitted contributions will be evaluated as follows: Points will be given by a jury for the complexity of the resulting mashup, the elegance of its construction and the features of the mashup tool that have been used to build it. The public will also be able to give feedback and participate in the challenge evaluation process.


STRUCTURE OF CHALLENGE

Admission: Submit your application by 1. May 2015. The application should include a brief description of proposed tool/approach and a filled feature checklist.

Preparation: If your proposal is accepted to the challenge, you will receive a list of Web APIs that are allowed to be used to compose the mashup during the competition. You will thus have one month before the conference to get ready.

Competition: During the ICWE conference you will give a live demonstration of how you build your mashup in exactly 10 minutes. The resulting mashup will be also demonstrated and evaluated by a jury.

Post-Challenge: You have the opportunity to publish a paper explaining your solution to the challenge and giving technical details about your approach and how it was used to rapidly build the mashup. The papers will be published by Springer.


SUBMISSION

Applications should be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS guidelines (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs/lncs+authors?SGWID=0-40209-0-0-0) and not be longer than 4 pages. If admitted to the challenge, you will then be allowed to extend your application into a full research paper of up to 15 pages of length, same LNCS format, and submit it to be reviewed after the challenge took place.

Submit your tool applications via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icwe2015mashupchalle 

The application to participate should follow the conventional structure of a demo paper: title, abstract, goals of your approach, proposed solution, level of maturity, plus some words on how your live demonstration could looks like.
