Over the past few years, the discussion between the two major architectural styles for designing and implementing Web services, the RPC-oriented approach and the resource-oriented approach, has been mainly held outside of traditional research ...

Although desktop developers often have trouble consciously understanding RESTful concepts like "hypermedia as the engine of application state", this does not prevent them from intuitively understanding client-side tools based on these concepts. However, ...

The REST architectural style, as defined by Roy Fielding in his thesis [3], is characterized by four constraints: (i) identification of resources (ii) manipulation of resources through representations (iii) self-descriptive messages and (iv) hyper-media ...

This paper discusses the role of the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style in the development of distributed applications. It also gives an overview of how RESTful implementations of distributed business processes and structures can ...

Gateway caches are intermediary components for reducing demands on destination servers, and therefore operational costs of a system. At scale, particularly with the advent of on-demand infrastructures such as EC2, etc., maximising cache efficiency ...

In this paper, we describe issues encountered in designing and implementing a set of RESTful services to extend and replace web services that have been in commercial use since 1998. Applicability of REST to the service requirements, suitability of ...

We believe that there is a need for a practical model to visualize the structure and design rationale of REST, so researchers can study more easily the reutilization of this architectural style or parts of it, to the design of software solutions with ...

In this article a formal model applying REST architectural principles to the description of semantic web services is introduced, including the discussion of its syntax and operational semantics. RESTful semantic resources are described using the concept ...

Traditionally, distributed computing problems have been solved by partitioning data into chunks small enough to be handled by commodity hardware. However, such partitioning is not possible in cases where there are a high number of dependencies or high ...

This paper discusses the development of a ReSTful Web Service platform for serving Mixed Reality content at Nokia Research Center. The paper gives an overview of the Mixed Reality domain, the requirements for the platform and its implementation. We ...

In this paper we introduce a practical approach to share the user interface of MVC compatible interactive applications with remote devices that have the ability to adapt the user interface to their specific look and feel. We present the system ...
