WireCloud builds on cutting-edge end-user (software) development, RIA and semantic technologies to offer a next-generation end-user centred web application mashup platform aimed at allowing end users without programming skills to easily create web applications and dashboards/cockpits (e.g. to visualize their data of interest or to control their domotized home or environment). Web application mashups integrate heterogeneous data, application logic, and UI components (widgets) sourced from the Web to create new coherent and value-adding composite applications. They are targeted at leveraging the "long tail" of the Web of Services (a.k.a. the Programmable Web) by exploiting rapid development, DIY, and shareability. They typically serve a specific situational (i.e. immediate, short-lived, customized) need, frequently with high potential for reuse. Is this "situational" character which precludes them to be offered as 'off-the-shelf' functionality by solution providers, and therefore creates the need for a tool like WireCloud.

Provides a drag-and-drop interface for creating workflows and applications. Users can connect various components, such as data sources, APIs, and services, to build functional applications visually.

Supports a modular design approach, allowing users to build and reuse components within their workflows. This modularity promotes efficient development and easy maintenance of complex applications.

Enables integration with IoT devices and services, allowing users to create applications that interact with and manage IoT data. WireCloud supports various protocols and data formats commonly used in IoT environments.

Allows users to create customizable dashboards for visualizing data and interacting with applications. Dashboards can include charts, graphs, and other visual elements to present data effectively.

Provides the ability to extend functionality through custom widgets and modules. Users can create and integrate their own components to meet specific needs and enhance the platform’s capabilities.

Facilitates collaboration by enabling multiple users to work on the same project simultaneously. This feature supports team-based development and collective management of visual programming environments.

Offers tools for data processing and transformation within workflows. Users can manipulate, filter, and aggregate data as it flows through their applications, enabling complex data handling and integration.

Ideal for developing IoT applications that require integration with various devices and services. WireCloud allows users to visually design workflows that interact with IoT data and control devices.

Useful for integrating data from multiple sources and services into cohesive applications. WireCloud’s visual programming environment simplifies the process of connecting and managing diverse data sources.

Supports the creation of interactive dashboards for monitoring and visualizing data. Users can build custom dashboards to display real-time information and interact with applications through visual elements.

Facilitates rapid prototyping of applications and workflows. The drag-and-drop interface enables quick development and testing of new ideas and solutions without extensive coding.

Serves as an educational tool for learning about visual programming and application development. WireCloud’s intuitive interface helps users understand programming concepts and build functional applications.
