Application areas Collaborate Electronic business Content engineering For fixed and mobile users
Challenge • Visualize the process that is executed under the hood of an application • For demonstration or instruction purposes(Not for management, debugging or tuning purposes) • In a web-based environment • For distributed applications • In real time • Lightweight • Adaptable by (to) the (wishes of) viewer(s)
Demonstrator visualization: rationale User interface 3G mobile network WASP applications End user 3G platform WASP application platform 3rd parties + services
Features • Topic subscription • Web service API for event publication • Pushing of XML events from router to subscriber • Client-side JavaScript XML event parsing • Mapping of XML events to graphical updates, • Event queuing facilities • to delay the event flow • to show parallel events • Sync between different views
Visualization • SVG front-end • Graphical expressiveness • Highly dynamic nature • Programmable through JavaScript • Automatic generation • Lightweight solution • Different views • Level of detail • Process, actor or function view • Aspects • Fancy or plain
Process models • Generate SVG from formal process models, e.g. • ebXML BPSS • UML / XMI • RSD Studio • Using XSLT style sheets • Hooks for programmatic updates and/or simulation • RSD supports extensible import and export facilities. • Import for older RSD versions • Export to SVG, BPSS, et cetera RSD Demo
Conceptual demo Monitoring Infrastructure Demo
Bottlenecks • SVG design tools that allow structured SVG and roundtrip editing • SVG controls (slider, switch, etc.) • Version 1.0 shortcomings, e.g. text wrapping, z-layer, … • Time consuming SVG DOM programming • Difficult to avoid scripting in the XSLT that generates SVG • A comprehensive and understandable process model/view • Client-side dependence (scripting, fonts, SVG support in mobile devices)
Demonstrations B2B2ME: web service composition Impact: Electronic market places WASP: context aware mobile services Uluru: mobile audio-visual services
