Part I: Mashups and Semantic Mashups
Part II: Intelligent Mashups

What do you know about mashups or web application hybrids? Did you ever try to create a Web mashup? Are you comfortable with editors such as Microsoft Popfly, Mozilla Ubiquity, Yahoo pipes, DERI Pipes or Google Mashup Editor? Do they still make you feel a bit like reading a foreign language? Are you looking for more user-interaction in mashup creation and maintenance? Are you looking for more "elegance" for your mashups?
In this tutorial, we will cover many essential intelligent mashup techniques, adding immediately useful tools to your belt. The rationale will be provided for every idiom -- the "why" in addition to the "what & how". We will run through lots of small, practical, hands-on examples. We will take questions throughout the tutorial.
