This document summarizes a workshop on software and services architectures and infrastructures. It discusses current European projects in this area like NESSI, RESERVOIR, and SLA@SOI. It also outlines future research directions for the Internet of Services and the Future Internet in the EU's FP7 research program.

2. Overview
• Current activities
– NESSI Technology Platform
– Projects in Software & Services
• Future activities
– Internet of Services
– WP2009-10
• Conclusions
3rd OpenNet Workshop

3. NESSI
Aims to develop a visionary strategy for Software and
Services driven by a common Strategic Research Agenda
where innovation and business strengths are reinforced.
Expected impact:
• standardisation, common service platform open standards
• improve EU competitiveness in S&S
• reduce sector fragmentation and align R&D efforts
• openness: an open initiative mobilising SMEs, academia
and industry
http://www.nessi-europe.eu
• address key R&D and policy challenges in S&S

6. Reservoir
Expected Results
• Deliver Services as Utilities
• Next-Generation Infrastructure for Service Delivery
– Resources and services can be transparently and
dynamically managed, provisioned and relocated virtually
“without borders”
• Realize the utility computing paradigm in commercial scenarios
• Analog to electrical power delivery (utility computing)
• Capacity can be shifted to guarantee supply and lower costs
– Adhere to SLA constraints via smart algorithms for
placement and relocation of services (availability and
scalability)
• Outcome – architecture and implementation of service
and infrastructure layers of the NESSI framework
• Impact – create the basis for future service products
– Enable utility-like deployment of services, relieving service
consumers from awareness of IT attributes while providing
QoS and security guarantees
3rd OpenNet Workshop (See http://www.reservoir-fp7.eu/)

7. SLA@SOI
Project Innovation
• Main innovations
– SLA management framework
• tools & standards for SLA specification, negotiation & multi-layer
management
• guaranteed QoS in a dynamic and end-to-end fashion
– adaptive SLA-aware infrastructures
• standardized interfaces for adaptive infrastructures
• advanced technologies for SLA enforcement on infrastructure level
• efficient resource usage w/ reliable SLA enforcement at infrastructure
level
– engineering methods for predictable service-oriented systems
• modelling techniques and prediction tools for SOA and SOI components
– business management suite for e-contracting
• covers complete business lifecycle of a service provisioning/delivery
• Main results
– open SLA framework (core architecture & reference
implementation)
– Industrial Evaluation Report: “How to run an SLA-driven business”
3rd OpenNet Workshop (See http://www.sla-at-soi.eu/)

8. SOA4All
SOA
As the emerging dominant paradigm for
application development which abstracts
Web principles from software to the notion of a service Context
To scale SOA to a Adapting to meet local
world wide web environment constraints,
communications organizational policies
infrastructure and personal preferences
Web 2.0
Semantic Web
As a means to structure
human-machine To automate service
cooperation in an efficient discovery, mediation &
& cost-effective manner composition

13. WP2009-10
Initial ideas
• Background
– Input largely IT / Internet coloured
– Telecom operators’ service infrastructures for communication and
content / media services
– Converging approaches in general purpose service architectures
and platforms
• Opportunities for exploring common approaches and solutions
• Taking into account differences in types of companies involved, their
technical focus, their business models, and the standardisation bodies
they address
• Questions for debate
– Are we going to see architectural tensions between the telco and IT
service cultures?
– What is going to be in the network, what is going to be in the
services/applications (e.g., location awareness, billing)?
– What will be the scope of services to be enabled in the Future
Internet?
– Will this lead to a repositioning of industrial players or
opportunities for new players?
– Can we miss the chance to provide opportunities for the EU service
industry?
