Modeling Search Computing Applications

Search Computing defines a new class of applications, which enable end users to perform exploratory search processes over multi-domain data sources available on the Web. These applications exploit suitable models, supported by a framework, that make it possible for expert users to configure the data sources to be searched and the interfaces for query submission and result visualization, by using for such source and interface configurations mashup tools which do not require programming. This paper presents Search Computing design process and developer roles, together with the conceptual models that represent the foundation of a model-driven approach to Search Computing.
