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.
