Web 2.0-based SaaS for Community Resource Sharing

Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm where computing resources are offered over the Internet. Web 2.0 is also the mainstream technology in the existing Internet. How to combine the two domains is the main purpose of this paper. Software as a Service (SaaS) is one of the important service models of cloud computing. This study presents a Web 2.0-based Software as a Service (Web 2.0-based SaaS) model based on Web 2.0 Mashups for integrating Web 2.0 technologies into SaaS. Based on the proposed Web-based SaaS model, a RSS-based Community Resource Sharing System, called RCRSS, is developed, and then is deployed in the Google App Engine platform. To illustrate the RCRSS applications, we demonstrate resource sharing of community can be acquired from heterogeneous and distributed resources, including Blog, Facebook, Social Bookmark, and Web Multimedia.
