OptimAX: efficient support for data-intensive mash-ups

Mash-ups are being used in various Web-based applications of Web 2.0 which combine instantly information from different sources. Active XML (AXML, in short) language is a tool for decentralized, data-centric Web service integration. AXML document includes calls to services that may be either simple request-responses either long running subscriptions. Being fully composable and allowing resource sharing makes AXML ideal for mash-up style integration. In this demo we present how AXML can be used as a specification, optimization and distributed execution language for dynamic distributed mash-ups in varied P2P settings. We also demonstrate our AXML optimizer's (OptimAX) optimization rules and rewriting engine with a help of GUI.
