Integration of Services for Academic and Research on private cloud system

Abstract

Service composition and integration are well investigated problems in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). However, they still remain among the hard SOA challenges for which automated approaches have yet to be developed. These issues are hindering the agile and costeffective development of service-based business solutions, and the need for addressing them becomes more pressing with the increase in the number of online (cloud) services. The modern design of business and academic IT landscapes is based upon service-oriented architectures. The integration of (external) services raises various challenges to combine the services. In this system workflows are the preferred means for the integration of services on private cloud systems. The proposed workflow model allows academic users to deploy and run the services on (external) private cloud providers. As a Test-bed environment this system uses a Eucalyptus open source system to build up academic institutionbased private cloud system.
