Navigating in Complex MashedUp Applications

Mashups integrate a set of Web-services and data sources, often referred to as mashlets. The authors study in this paper a common scenario where these mashlets are components of larger Web-Applications. In this case, integration of mashlets yields a set of inter-connected applications, referred to as Mashed-up APPlications (abbr. MashAPP). While inter-actions between the mashlets enrich the individual applications, they also render navigation within them more intricate for the user, as actions in one application may affect others.
