Integration of Services for Academic and Research on private cloud system

Abstract

Service composition and integration are wellinvestigated problems in Service OrientedArchitecture (SOA). However, they still remainamong the hard SOA challenges for whichautomated approaches have yet to be developed.These issues are hindering the agile and costeffectivedevelopment of service-based businesssolutions, and the need for addressing thembecomes more pressing with the increase in thenumber of online (cloud) services. The moderndesign of business and academic IT landscapesis based upon service-oriented architectures. Theintegration of (external) services raises variouschallenges to combine the services. In thissystem workflows are the preferred means for theintegration of services on private cloud systems.The proposed workflow model allows academicusers to deploy and run the services on (external)private cloud providers. As a Test-bedenvironment this system uses a Eucalyptus opensource system to build up academic institutionbasedprivate cloud system
