Abstract:
Composite web applications are a promising way to support the long tail of user needs. While most mashup platforms only support single-user scenarios, CRUISE enables the reconfiguration of multi-user mashups during runtime.
Thereby, synchronizing different parts of an application based on black-box components from different vendors causes special challenges for the rights management system.
Cause we additionally focus on non-programmers as target group, an adequate user interface concept is needed.
To overcome these challenges, we present a triple-based rights management concept as well as a corresponding user interface support.
It supports fine-grained sharing of whole applications, single components or UI parts of components under configurable permissions.
Thereby, users can select semantically compatible components during the collaborative session.
The practicability of our concept is validated by a prototypically implementation as well as a user acceptance test.
