(to appear - paper will be added soon for download) Abstract: This demo introduces the idea of distributed orchestration of user interfaces (UIs), an application development approach that allows us to easily bring together UIs, web services and people in a single orchestration logic, language, and tool. The tool is called MarcoFlow, and it covers three main phases of the software development lifecycle: design (by means of a dedicated, visual editor), deployment (by means of a set of code generators), and execution (by means of a distributed runtime environment for UI orchestrations). We showcase the benefits of MarcoFlow in each of the phases by developing and running a practical and expressive application for the management of home assistance and by explaining, in each phase, which are the challenges, which the intuitions, and which the solutions. The demo targets the development of mashup-like applications that require (distributed) process support and, hence, targets researchers and practitioners interested in mashups, lightweight process design, web services, and innovative (and free) ways of providing process support.
