New Charting features includes the ability to browse the catalog for feeds, a more visual way to select the data to chart, more styles, and a new chart type – stacked bar chart. Speed & Simplify Mashup Creation with New & Enhanced Visualization Widgets, cont.

Many of the core Mashup Center visualization widgets (e.g., charting, data view, timeline, etc.) have been enhanced to natively support parameterized feeds
With this support, dynamic parameterized feeds can be created without the use of “glue” widgets like URL Customizer, JavaScript Adapter, and Regular Expression
This new capability helps to reduce the learning curve for creating mashups while also improving productivity by reducing the number of widgets needed to get to the desired end result
Speed & Simplify Mashup Creation with Built-In Support for Parameterized Feeds Users can allow feed parameters to be dynamically updated via wires

A new auto-wiring capability allows widgets dropped on a page to automatically communicate without any explicit user intervention. The result is that new mashup pages can be assembled even faster than before!
Automatic wiring can be enabled for a given page
Users can turn on notifications to alert when auto-wiring has occurred
Wires can now be created across pages, allowing end users to click on one page to bring up another page populated with the contextually relevant information

Domain-specific mashup-enabled products can benefit by adding on Mashup Center for the complete mashup experience. For example:

IBM Mashup Center + Portal = A Powerful Combination
In December 2010, we expect to release the IBM Mashup Accelerator – a package designed to deliver the complete mashup experience to new or existing WebSphere Portal customers
Why would WebSphere Portal customers need the Mashup Accelerator?
To accelerate the creation of application building blocks (feeds, widgets, mashup pages), to encourage reuse of these assets, and to also apply appropriate levels of governance on them
Net result is faster time to market and a more agile approach to application development
To create quick apps – tactical or situational applications created for a specific business need
No-code tooling supports business user creation and sharing of applications, helping to lessen IT backlog
Users outside of central IT (line of business, decentralized IT, or even citizens) can quickly pull together new applications
All can be done in an environment outside of Portal, where there may be fewer concerns about granting users access to creating, deleting, and managing new pages or building applications that may affect the stability of the production Portal
To act as a “portal incubator”
New ideas can be quickly prototyped out, tested, evolved
“ Final” mashups can be pushed into the Portal environment- with no code changes
