Description/Abstract

The current Web offers a very large number of solutiofns and services, ranging from social networking and content delivery services to business applications and management systems. However, in a general case the solutions provided are largely disintegrated, with each product operating in it's own environment. Additionally, many of the products are unknown to the end user and finding the most suitable application is commonly a non-trivial task. The current project is an effort to provide a ubiquitous interface for Web application integration. The suggested approach allows for dynamic identification of the applications most suitable for a given task and access to their data using a unified interface in the REST architectural style. A novel algorithm for identification of the most appropriate data source is introduced within the study. Evaluation of the overall system and the obtained results is provided.
