Starting with RESTful design is a difficult task -- even more if the designer has a RPC or object-oriented background. To support the adaption from RPC- to REST-oriented thinking, we propose RESTify, a straightforward procedure model to redesign a RPC-oriented interface into a hypermedia-enabled REST interface. RESTfiy uses a WSDL document of an existing SOAP service and consists of three iterations. The result of each iteration is an enhanced version of the preceding one concerning the REST constraints and is meant to be implemented as a HTTP service. Beside the technical result of the process and the design of a RESTful interface, the developer becomes acquainted to the main elements of a RESTful design, the constraints and their application. The results of the evaluation, using a prototypical web application and public SOAP services, are promising.

The early visions for the Semantic Web, from the famous 2001 Scientific American article by Berners-Lee et al., feature intelligent agents that can autonomously perform tasks like discovering information, scheduling events, finding execution plans for complex operations, and in general, use reasoning techniques to come up with sense-making and traceable decisions. While today more than ten years later the building blocks (1) resource-oriented rest infrastructure, (2) Web APIs, and (3) Linked Data are in place, the envisioned intelligent agents have not landed yet. In this paper, we explain why capturing functionality is the connection between those three building blocks, and introduce the functional API description format RESTdesc that creates this bridge between hypermedia APIs and the Semantic Web. Rather than adding yet another component to the Semantic Web stack, RESTdesc offers instead concise descriptions that reuse existing vocabularies to guide hypermedia-driven agents. Its versatile capabilities are illustrated by a real-life agent use case for Web browsers wherein we demonstrate that RESTdesc functional descriptions are capable of fulfilling the promise of autonomous agents on the Web.

In this paper we present our experiences on developing generic and adaptive web-based content authoring tools for augmented and mixed reality applications. Our approach uses hypermedia to convey the capabilities of content servers and to load on demand only the functionality needed to interact with the corresponding content server. The mechanism allows the web application to provide an optimized user experience by adapting to the environment where it is used.

As the amount of data and devices on the Web experiences exponential growth issues on how to integrate such hugely heterogeneous components into a scalable system become increasingly important. REST has proven to be a viable solution for such large-scale information systems. It provides a set of architectural constraints that, when applied as a whole, result in benefits in terms of loose coupling, maintainability, evolvability, and scalability. Unfortunately, some of REST's constraints such as the ones that demand self-descriptive messages or require the use of hypermedia as the engine of application state are rarely implemented correctly. This results in tightly coupled and thus brittle systems. To solve these and other issues, we present JSON-LD, a community effort to standardize a media type targeted to machine-to-machine communication with inherent hypermedia support and rich semantics. Since JSON-LD is 100% compatible with traditional JSON, developers can continue to use their existing tools and libraries. As we show in the paper, JSON-LD can be used to build truly RESTful services that, at the same time, integrate the exposed data into the Semantic Web. The required additional design costs are significantly outweighed by the achievable benefits in terms of loose coupling, evolvability, scalability, self-descriptiveness, and maintainability.

The ecosystem of services on the Web continues to grow and evolve while, at the same time, the number and diversity of connected devices increases; challenges lie ahead for both providers and consumers of Web services. This paper is presented as a 'what-if' proposal; an alternate paradigm for dealing with an increasingly heterogeneous network. Drawing from diverse sources including physical architecture, industrial design, the psychology of perception, and cross-cultural mono-myth, a new implementation paradigm is proposed to help software architects and developers meet these challenges; one that invites participants to shift their mental model from that of programming network devices to programming the network to which those devices are connected. To accomplish this goal an "affordance-rich message" is proposed; one that is based on shared understanding through network-oriented affordances instead of device-oriented APIs. A working model based on this approach is offered, examples given, and areas of related work identified.

The problem of staging data in workflows has received much attention over the last decade, with a variety of user-directed and automatic solutions. The latter are the focus of the first contribution in this paper, where we propose a simple peer-to-peer solution adapted to the needs of RESTful services. The second contribution, is the combination of the data staging mechanism with a simple service deployment mechanism, that is designed to allow applications developed for the command-line to function as (RESTful) services without modification or (in some cases) recompilation. Thus, the aim of this paper is to describe the design and implementation of: (i) a peer-to-peer data-staging mechanism, that is itself RESTful, and (ii) a service deployment mechanism, also following REST design principles, which together form the Universal Distributed Data-flows framework, for the support of data-intensive (RESTful) workflows. We evaluate the framework by means of an engineering workflow developed for multi-disciplinary design optimization. The workflow itself is specified in Taverna, which is a conventional centralized data-staging enactment system. However, by virtue of the underlying services and staging mechanisms described here, the resulting enactment is peer-to-peer (for data), which furthermore permits asynchronous staging, with potential benefits for network utilization and end-to-end execution time.

Many companies have invested in legacy applications and want to benefit from the interoperability that the architectural style Representational State Transfer (REST) offers without redeveloping their software. One of the crucial parts when adding a REST interface to an existing application is creating an appropriate resource model. Utilizing any available model of the legacy application can accelerate development significantly because existing domain knowledge, data, and business process implementations can be reused. Despite the maturity of the architectural style, there is still little record of creating a resource model from existing object-oriented applications. This article presents a lightweight modeling process: First we harvest an existing object model for resource candidates, afterwards the resulting model is enhanced incrementally until a suitable resource model emerges. The process is illustrated by a case study that highlights interesting challenges, such as a comprehensive domain model and long running processes, as well as pragmatic solutions for these challenges. The paper demonstrates that it is feasible to add a RESTful interface to a legacy application even in a process rich environment.
许多公司已经在遗留应用程序上进行了投资,并希望在不重新开发软件的情况下,从体系结构风格具象状态传输(Representational State Transfer, REST)提供的互操作性中获益。在向现有应用程序添加REST接口时,关键部分之一是创建适当的资源模型。利用遗留应用程序的任何可用模型都可以显著加快开发速度,因为可以重用现有的领域知识、数据和业务流程实现。尽管体系结构风格已经成熟,但是从现有的面向对象应用程序创建资源模型的记录仍然很少。本文介绍了一个轻量级的建模过程:首先,我们为候选资源获取一个现有的对象模型,然后逐步增强结果模型,直到出现合适的资源模型。该过程通过一个案例研究来说明,该案例研究突出了有趣的挑战,例如全面的领域模型和长时间运行的过程,以及针对这些挑战的实用解决方案。本文证明,即使在流程丰富的环境中,向遗留应用程序添加RESTful接口也是可行的。

So-called RESTful services are in widespread use both on the Web, and increasingly, in large enterprises. We say "so-called" because in reality, most of these services are not very RESTful. Those active in the REST community know well where these interfaces fail to meet REST principles, however, true understanding remains only in this relatively small community. Unfortunately, the result is a set of interfaces that are ultimately limited in their use, and the deficiencies are not usually recognized until it is too late to make the necessary changes. Our experience has shown that individuals are not being deliberately neglectful, rather, they simply do not know what they do not know. Everyone thinks they "get REST", after all, using HTTP to move XML or JSON payloads over the network is very simple. We have found that most individuals begin to understand the nuances of REST when they are explained and they almost always ask for resources that further explain these concepts. Certainly, materials are available, however the best ones are rather substantial in size lessening the chance that many people will read them. In this paper we take a fresh approach to explaining the core principles of REST, by describing a World Wide Web that fails to meet these tenets. We look at each key element, resource orientation, the uniform interface, media types and hyperlinking, and imagine the consequences of not abiding by the REST architectural style on the end user or tools developer of the Web. We then do a similar analysis in the context of Web services and programmatic consumers, reexamining each REST characteristic, describing common mistakes and suggesting improvements. We have found that in discussions, the analogy of the World Wide Web has been very effective at explaining REST.

The potentials of REST offers new ways for communications between louse coupled entities featured through the Web of Things [12]. The binding of the disjunct components of this architecture creates security issues, such as the centralized authorization techniques respecting the independence of the underlying entities. This results in the question how authorization is performed respecting the flexibility of REST without any knowledge about the underlying resources. Nevertheless, possible knowledge about these resources should enable the authorization workflow to offer finer-granular permissions on substructures of the resources. With our new approach - we named Hecate- we offer a framework to assure simplified handling while keeping the potentials and flexibility of REST. We have designed an architecture based on XML with a flexible authorization mechanism on the one hand and optional resource-awareness on the other hand. The flexibility within the authorization work-flow bases on permission sets respecting the HTTP-verbs. Additional in-depth knowledge of the entity optionally extends these permissions with resource-aware filters. Hecate offers not only great benefits because of its flexibility, but also because of the optional extensibility proved within the two reference implementations. With Hecate, we show that a centralized authorization mechanism combining independence and optional resource-based filtering extends the flexibility of REST rather than restricting it.

Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for distributed systems. RESTful web services have been gaining popularity in the last years. The Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) has been specified as Java Specification Request 311 and is therefore an official part of Java; with the Jersey framework, a robust reference implementation of the specification exists. We examine in how far RESTful web services can fulfill tasks that have been defined as WS-* specifications. In particular, we investigate how a RESTful design and implementation of the WS-Agreement specification can be realized, presenting a light-weight approach to the creation and management of service level agreements.
