An Internet Telephony Gateway Server is a server that integrates the Internet into the Public Service Telephone Network (PSTN). It makes use of the Internet as a new form of media to transmit speech audio between two conventional telephones. This paper examines the software design of the server and identifies the necessary Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for the server software. Two m...

Acknowledgements: This position statement covers joint work with the students of the Gauss research group, principally Sarvani Vakkalanka, Anh Vo, Sriram Aananthakrishnan, and Michael DeLisi. Discussions with faculty CoPI Robert M. Kirby are gratefully acknowledged. Summary: This paper is first a plea that formal methods researchers start studying and building support for the plethora of concur...

When developing application programming interfaces of ontologies that include many instances of ontology design patterns, developers of semantic web applications usually have to handle complex mappings between descriptions of information given by ontologies and object oriented representations of the same information. In current approaches, annotations on API source code handle these mappings, l...

BACKGROUND Nosemosis of European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is present in bee colonies worldwide. Until recently, Nosema apis had been regarded as the causative agent of the disease, that causes heavy economic losses in apicultures. Nosema ceranae is an emerging microsporidian parasite of European honeybees, A. mellifera, but its distribution is not well known. Previously, nosemosis in honeybee...

Machine learning prediction APIs offered by Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and many other providers have been continuously adopted in a plethora of applications, such as visual object detection, natural language comprehension, speech recognition. Despite the importance systematic study comparison different over time, this topic is currently under-explored because lack data user-friendly exploration...

A sizable amount of data on the Web is currently available via Web APIs that expose data in formats such as JSON or XML. Combining data from different APIs and data sources requires glue code which is typically not shared and hence not reused. We derive requirements for a mechanism that brings data and functionality currently available via ad-hoc APIs into a coherent framework. Such standardise...

Interactive method invocation has become a common interaction pattern in the documentation of web application programming interfaces (APIs). One of the earliest examples of this pattern being applied at scale is the Google APIs Explorer. In this paper, we describe eight ways developers use such tools in software development, grounded in empirical analyses of the Google APIs Explorer. We then ex...
