  • Community-Based API Builder to Manage Apis and Their Connections with Cloud-Based Services
    Community-based API Builder to manage APIs and their connections with Cloud-based Services Romanos Tsouroplis1, Michael Petychakis1, Iosif Alvertis1, Evmorfia Biliri1, Fenareti Lampathaki1, Dimitris Askounis1 1 National Technical University of Athens, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Athens, Greece { rtsouroplis, mpetyx, alvertisjo, ebiliri, flamp, askous} @epu.ntua.gr Abstract. Creating added value, innovative applications and services in the web is hindered by the prevailing different formats and models of information retrieved by the various Cloud-based Services (CBS). Additionally, CBS tend to change their Application Programming Interface (API) versions very often, not sufficiently helping the interested enterprises with their adoption as they need to be up-to-date and always functional. The API Builder is a community- based platform that aims to facilitate developers in adopting a Graph API that unifies the experience of multiple cloud-based services APIs and personal cloudlets, building and maintaining their software applications easily, despite any changes made in the CBS APIs. Keywords: APIs, Cloud-based Services, Evolving APIs, Graph API, Community-based platform, Social Enterprise 1. Introduction These days, more and more users tend to share their data through the World Wide Web. Social Networks have gathered large silos of information for each of their users and their interconnections. The Web APIs (Application Programming Interface) provide all the endpoints needed for a developer to request access into this plethora of information. All the major social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc., have an API, providing most of their core services to third parties for several reasons [1]. Currently, on the site Programmable Web, which indexes, categorizes and makes mashups of APIs, 12,987 public APIs are listed and this number is continuously growing [2].

  • Comparing Description Languages for REST Apis in Industry and Academia
    Institute of Architecture of Application Systems University of Stuttgart Universitätsstraße 38 D–70569 Stuttgart Masterarbeit Nr. 50 Description Languages for REST APIs - State of the Art, Comparison, and Transformation Anton Scherer Course of Study: Softwaretechnik Examiner: Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Frank Leymann Supervisor: Dipl.-Inf. Florian Haupt Dipl.-Inf. Karolina Vukojevic-Haupt Commenced: July 21, 2015 Completed: January 20, 2016 CR-Classification: D.2.2, D.2.11 Abstract In recent years, the architectural style for building Web Services called "Representational State Transfer" (REST) gained a lot of popularity in industry and academia. Since designing complex, distributed hypermedia systems still meeting all the REST constraints is a difficult task, an academic, model-driven approach based on a multi-layered metamodel was developed in order to enforce REST compliance. Apart from that, multiple REST API description languages emerged in industry, providing means to formally define the structure of an API for human (e.g. API documentation) and machine (e.g. automated creation of client/server stubs) consumption. This work aims to compare the academic metamodel with API description languages widely used in industry. As a comparison methodology, bidirectional model transformations were designed and implemented between the academic metamodel and each of the two leading API description languages, Swagger and RAML. The model transformations were evaluated with a quantitative method by applying them on real world API descriptions as well as manually evaluating the quality of the transformed models. The model transformations show that indeed various mappings can be established between model elements of different metamodels. However, there are also crucial differences which are also examined in this thesis.

At the fifth session of the Committee of WIPO Standards (CWS), held from May 29 to June 2, 2017, one of the important areas for standardization identified was web services (see paragraph 2 of document CWS/5/15). The CWS agreed at this meeting to create Task No. 56, so that the XML4IP Task Force could conduct development of this draft standard (see paragraph 92 of document CWS/5/22). 2. At its sixth session, held in October 2018, the CWS agreed that the draft standard should include the Application Programming Interface (API) specification of two example models: the first inspired by one of the four One Portal Dossier (OPD) APIs developed by the IP5 Offices1 and the second to provide a web service to retrieve patent legal status event information, compliant with WIPO Standard ST.27. 3. During the XML4IP Task Force Meeting, held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, in March 2019, the XML4IP Task Force decided that the new API standard was outside the scope of the of the XML4IP Task Force, and proposed that a new Task Force should be established in order to capture API development practices in the intellectual property (IP) domain. 1 The IP5 Offices consist of the European Patent Office (EPO), the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), Japanese Patent Office (JPO) and Korean Patent Office (KIPO).

  • A Reliability-Aware Framework for Service-Based Software Development
    A Reliability-Aware Framework for Service-Based Software Development by Ian Andrusiak A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Applied Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Ontario Institute of Technology Oshawa, Ontario, Canada © Ian Andrusiak, 2017 Abstract A Reliability-Aware Framework for Service-Based Software Development Ian Andrusiak Advisor: University of Ontario Institute of Technology, 2017 Dr. Qusay H. Mahmoud It is becoming common to see software applications taking advantage of web services available publicly to meet their needs, rather than developing an in-house solution. This introduces the problem where failures can occur on the network, or on the service provider, outside the influence of the developer. This thesis proposes a reliability-aware framework with a focus on availability, which applies a recovery block scheme to services provided by different developers. The proposed framework allows developers to specify alternative services which meet the core specifications of their primary service. When a failure is determined to have occurred, the request to the primary service is mapped to an alternative service. A prototype has been developed as a proof of concept, which has been evaluated on metrics based on potential use cases. The experimental results show that the system is successful at providing availability when failure occurs, at a cost to overall performance. i Acknowledgments I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Qusay Mahmoud, for his continued support, motivation, and guidance throughout my time as a graduate student. I would not have been able to complete this work without his guidance and motivation.

Model-driven techniques have been proposed to improve the development of complex applications. In model-driven software development, software is not implemented manually based on informal descriptions, but partial or completely generated from formal models derived from metamodels. A model driven approach, materialized in a domain specific language that integrates the OpenAPI specification, an emerging standard for describing REST services, allows developers to use a design first approach in the web service development process, focusing in the definition of resources and their relationships, leaving the repetitive code production process to the automation provided by model-driven engineering techniques. This also allows to shift the creative coding process to the resolution of the complex business rules, instead of the tiresome and error-prone create, read, update, and delete operations.

This work, that was carried out at Scania IT, investigates how a RESTful service should be designed and specified so that it meets the demands of an enterprise environment. In particular, this report will focus on documentation and validation of RESTful services, i.e. specifications. These are important aspects in an enterprise environment. The investigation consists of a comparative case study of four specification formats and Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State (HATEOAS). The results show that the most commonly used specification formats have flaws. They also suggest that Swagger and RAML (RESTful API Modeling Language) are the two most mature formats. The results also show that HATEOAS, which is a more dynamic approach, can be useful in an enterprise environment but that it requires careful design.

  • Code Generation for Restful Apis in HEADREST
    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE CIÊNCIAS DEPARTAMENTO DE INFORMÁTICA Code Generation for RESTful APIs in HEADREST Telmo da Silva Santos Mestrado em Engenharia Informática Especialização em Engenharia de Software Dissertação orientada por: Prof. Maria Antónia Bacelar da Costa Lopes Prof. Vasco Manuel Thudichum de Serpa Vasconcelos 2018 Resumo Os serviços web com APIs que aderem ao estilo arquitetural REST, conhecidos por serviços web RESTful, são atualmente muito populares. Estes serviços seguem um estilo cliente-servidor, com interações sem estado baseadas nos verbos disponibilizados pela norma HTTP. Como meio de especificar formalmente a interação entre os clientes e fornecedores de serviços REST, várias linguagens de definição de interfaces (IDL) têm sido propostas. No entanto, na sua maioria, limitam-se ao nível sintático das interfaces que especificam e à descrição das estruturas de dados e dos pontos de interação. A linguagem HEADREST foi desenvolvida como uma IDL que permite ultrapassar estas limitações, suportando a descrição das APIs RESTful também ao nível semântico. Através de tipos e asserções é possível em HEADREST não só definir a estrutura dos dados trocados mas também correlacionar o output com input e o estado do servidor. Uma das principais vantagens de ter descrições formais de APIs RESTful é a capaci- dade de gerar código boilerplate tanto para clientes como fornecedores. Este trabalho endereça o problema de geração de código para as APIs RESTful descritas com HEAD- REST e investiga de que forma as técnicas de geração de código existentes para os as- pectos sintáticos das APIs RESTful podem ser estendidas para levar em conta também as propriedades comportamentais que podem ser descritas em HEADREST.

    Collecting Service-Based Maintainability Metrics from RESTful API Descriptions: Static Analysis and Threshold Derivation Justus Bogner1[0000−0001−5788−0991], Stefan Wagner1[0000−0002−5256−8429], and Alfred Zimmermann2[0000−0003−3352−7207] 1 Institute of Software Engineering, University of Stuttgart, Germany fjustus.bogner,[email protected] 2 Herman Hollerith Center, University of Applied Sciences Reutlingen, Germany [email protected] Abstract. While many maintainability metrics have been explicitly de- signed for service-based systems, tool-supported approaches to automat- ically collect these metrics are lacking. Especially in the context of mi- croservices, decentralization and technological heterogeneity may pose challenges for static analysis. We therefore propose the modular and ex- tensible RAMA approach (RESTful API Metric Analyzer) to calculate such metrics from machine-readable interface descriptions of RESTful services. We also provide prototypical tool support, the RAMA CLI, which currently parses the formats OpenAPI, RAML, and WADL and calculates 10 structural service-based metrics proposed in scientific lit- erature. To make RAMA measurement results more actionable, we ad- ditionally designed a repeatable benchmark for quartile-based threshold ranges (green, yellow, orange, red). In an exemplary run, we derived thresholds for all RAMA CLI metrics from the interface descriptions of 1,737 publicly available RESTful APIs. Researchers and practitioners can use RAMA to evaluate the maintainability of RESTful services or to support the empirical evaluation of new service interface metrics. Keywords: RESTful services · microservices · maintainability · size · complexity · cohesion · metrics · static analysis · API documentation 1 Introduction arXiv:2007.10405v1 [cs.SE] 20 Jul 2020 Maintainability, i.e. the degree of effectiveness and efficiency with which a soft- ware system can be modified to correct, improve, extend, or adapt it [17], is an essential quality attribute for long-living software systems.
