Abstract: End-users compose ad-hoc business processes by integrating web applications to conduct online tasks. Generally, end-users have to enter information into web forms of web applications, and often repetitively type the same information into applications. It could be a tedious job for end-users to fill in web forms with identical information. To save end-users from repetitive typing and increase composition productivity, it is critical to propagate and pre-fill user inputs to web applications. In this paper, we propose an intelligent auto-filling framework collecting and propagating user inputs across web applications, identifying user usage patterns and contexts. The empirical results show that our framework, on average, achieves a precision of 74.5% and a recall of 58% on pre-filling web forms, and a precision of 82.25% and a recall of 68.4% on suggesting values to end-users if the end-users edit the initial pre-filled values.
