Abstract

Dynamic web service invocation without special client software may help the adoption of service-oriented architectures on the consumer stage. Ad-hoc usage of services requires a powerful set of concepts to visualise the service input and output messages in a user-friendly, ergonomic and extensible way. Such concepts are collected in a research effort named Web Service Graphical User Interface and are presented in the paper in combination with an algorithm to combine the concepts into one imaginary GUI creation engine, for which a proof-of-concept implementation exists. Extensibility is achieved by using implicit and explicit GUI generation hints in addition to inference mechanisms based on the message structures.
