ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. ASP.NET Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.
Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
Building RESTful applications using Spring MVCIndicThreads
REST is an alternate and simpler approach for implementing WebServices. It is based on the HTTP protocol and hence leverages a lot of existing infrastructures. It uses an uniform interface thus making it easy to build client applications. In this session we will look at the fundamental concepts behind REST (Resource, URI, Stateless Conversation ..) and how to apply it in the context of a real applcation. We will also discuss the pros & cons of RESTful vs Soap based webservices. We will discuss the design of RESTful application and then look at how to implement it using Spring MVC.

Komogortsev Qualitative And Quantitative Scoring And Evaluation Of The Eye Mo...Kalle
This paper presents a set of qualitative and quantitative scores designed to assess performance of any eye movement classification algorithm. The scores are designed to provide a foundation for the eye tracking researchers to communicate about the performance validity of various eye movement classification algorithms. The paper concentrates on the five algorithms in particular: Velocity Threshold Identification (I-VT), Dispersion Threshold Identification (I-DT), Minimum Spanning Tree Identification (MST), Hidden Markov Model Identification (IHMM) and Kalman Filter Identification (I-KF). The paper presents an evaluation of the classification performance of each algorithm in the case when values of the input parameters are varied. Advantages provided by the new scores are discussed. Discussion on what is the "best" classification algorithm is provided for several applications. General recommendations for the selection of the input parameters for each algorithm are
provided.
Eye tracking specialists often need to understand and represent aggregate scanning strategies, but methods to identify similar scanpaths and aggregate multiple scanpaths have been elusive. A
new method is proposed here to identify scanning strategies by aggregating groups of matching scanpaths automatically. A dataset of scanpaths is first converted to sequences of viewed area names, which are then represented in a dotplot. Matching sequences in the dotplot are found with linear regressions, and then used to cluster the scanpaths hierarchically. Aggregate scanning strategies are generated for each cluster and presented in an interactive dendrogram. While the clustering and aggregation method works in a bottom-up fashion, based on pair-wise matches, a top-down extension is also described, in which a scanning strategy is first input by cursor gesture, then matched against the dataset. The ability to discover both bottom-up and top-down strategy matches provides a powerful tool for scanpath analysis, and for understanding group scanning strategies.
Best Practices for Architecting a Pragmatic Web API.Mario Cardinal
This presentation teach how to design a real-world and pragmatic web API. It draws from the experience Mario Cardinal have gained over the years being involved architecting many Web API. This presentation begins by differencing between a Web and a REST API, and then continue with the design process. We conclude with the core learnings of the session which is a review of the best practices when designing a web API. Armed with skills acquired, you can expect to see significant improvements in your ability to design a pragmatic web API.
ASP.NET Web API is the de facto framework for building HTTP-based services in the .NET ecosystem. With its WCF and MVC lineage, Web API brings to the table better architecture, easier configuration, increased testability, and as always, it's customizable from top to bottom. But to properly use Web API it is not enough to get familiar with its architecture and API, you also need to really understand what HTTP is all about. HTTP is the most common application layer protocol in the world, and yet, not many web developers are familiar with HTTP concepts such as of chunking, caching, and persisted connections. In this full-day tutorial, we will focus on designing and implementing HTTP-based services with ASP.NET Web API, and you will learn how to better use it to implement the features provided by HTTP.
APIs are one of the main elements of cloud services. All major cloud service providers expose REST APIs to allow you to programmatically access their services and capabilities. SOAP and REST are the two most common ways of exposing APIs, whether to external, partner, cloud, or internal developers.
The concept of API management is to publish these web APIs for consumption, and includes capabilities such as monitoring, security, and documentation.
This presentation introduces basic concepts of APIs, API management, cloud REST services, and a brief walkthrough of WSO2 API Manager and the Oracle API Gateway to see how you can centrally publish, expose, and secure APIs, essentially virtualizing your backend services.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

References
3. Introduction to Web API
Next iteration of WCF REST
Framework for developing REST Services
Released part of ASP.NET MVC
Uses HTTP protocol
Accessible from wide variety of clients
Http Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
URLs and Methods
5. Web API Routing
Web API Routing very similar to MVC routing
Action determined using the HTTP method not the URI path
Uses “api” in the rout is to avoid collisons with ASP.NET MVC
routing.
Adds “Controller” to the controller part of the URL
Default mapping thru global.asax
Additional URL parameters are mapped as action parameters
Explicitly specify the HTTP methods for an action by decorating
the action method with HttpGet, HttpPut, HttpPost or
HttpDelete attribute
Action can be defined thru AcceptVerbs as a method attributes
Route by Action Name
Override action name by using ActionName attribute
Ignore action by NoAction Attribute
7. Filtering
Uses OData specific keywords
Directs that related records should be retrieved in the record or collection
$expand
being retrieved.
Specifies an expression or function that must evaluate to ‘true’ for a record to
$filter
be returned in the collection.
$orderby Determines what values are used to order a collection of records.
$select Specifies a sub set of properties to return.
$skip Sets the number of records to skip before it retrieves records in a collection.
$top Determines the maximum number of records to return.
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData -Pre
9. Web API Pipeline
Both Request and Response Model have pipeline
Web API has client and server side pipelines
Both Share the common object HttpMessageHandler
HttpRequestMessage
Represents all info about http request such as URL, HTTP Methods and
Headers
HttpResponseMessage
Represents all the info about the Http Response such as StatusCode,
Success Flag, Original Http Request
HttpMessageHandler
Common for both Request and Response
Most common processing code can be placed here
Ideal for authentication
Two Scopes: Global and Per-Route
Custom Handlers
Inherit DelegatingHandler
Custom code to perform any kind of per request functionality
13. Dependency Resolution
Service Oriented Architecture for Decoupling the
object
IoC: The concept of allowing something outside of
system to control it.
Often done thru DI frameworks
Unity
Ninject
Castle Windsor
Structure Map
Spring.net
Autofac
Web API provides a hook for us to wire up the
complex dependency
15. Data Model and MIME types
Returning JSON
Default return format
Good for mobile apps
does not require any special code
Returning XML
No code change
Set the request content type as application/xml
Mime Types:
return virtually anything that can be sent over the web
Inherit from BufferedMediaTypeFormatter
Override key methods
attach media formatter to configuration
