Abstract
We propose a novel system for creating data plugs and sockets for plug-and-play database web services. We adopt a plug-and-play approach to couple an application to a database. In our approach a designer constructs a “plug,” which is a simple specification of the output produced by the service. If the plug can be “played” on the database “socket” then the web service is generated. Our plug-and-play approach has three advantages. First, a plug is portable. A plug can be played on any data source to generate a web service. Second, a plug is reliable. The database is checked to ensure that the service can be safely and correctly generated. Third, plug-and-play web services are easier to code for complex data since a service designer can write a simple plug, abstracting away the data’s real complexity. We describe a system for plug-and-play web services and experimentally evaluate the system.
