What is a service?
ITAn executing software component with a well-defined interfaceTechnical focus on software (or service) design, engineering and execution, including description, discovery, and compositionTelecomsWhat the end-user (customer) pays forTechnical focus on transport, session, terminals, use of network resources, billingMediaWhat the end-user (customer) pays forTechnical focus on content production, presentation, mediation, manipulation and consumptionThe EconomistAnything sold in trade that cannot be dropped on your foot

Internet of Services Vision
Adapted from SAP Research, 2008
A multitude of connected IT services, which are offered, bought, sold, used, repurposed, and composed by a worldwide network of service providers, consumers, aggregators, and brokers
- resulting in -
a new way of offering, using, and organising IT supported functionality

FP7 Call 1 ProjectsObjective 1.2



Focus on technologies that enable to build cooperating computing cloudsIntegration of virtualization technologies with grid computing driven by new techniques for Business Service Management The Service Oriented Infrastructure (SOI) equation:
Architect and implement a platform for supporting complex services, whichEnables dynamic deployment of complex multi-tier services across heterogeneous administration domainsTake an inclusive look at virtualization of servers, network and storageSupports service definition, SLA management, accounting and billing
(See http://www.reservoir-fp7.eu/)


Virtualization-Aware Grid

Grid-Aware Virtualization

e.g., live migration across administrative domains

e.g., VM usage/size as the unit for metering and billing

BSM

e.g., policy-based management of service-level agreement

+

+

= SOI

Design, develop and validate a Service Oriented Infrastructure which will allow the adoption of interactive real-time applications, and especially multimedia applications, enabling their rich set of attributes (from time-constrained operation to dynamic service control and adaptation) and their efficient integration into the infrastructure.

Message:Services as common denominators in the different facets of the Future InternetDifferent interpretations of servicesDifferent focal points

*
Message:In addition to making functionality available as (packaged) software, providers more and more offer functionality as servicesNot only applications provided as services, also infrastructure resources such as communication, storage, and computingConsequences: maintenance and infrastructure are a continued responsibility of providers, SLAs to arrange the formal details between providers and users, users often pay per usage, perhaps less suitable for custom-made functionality
Message:The future consists of services (the boxes on the ring) and users of services (the others on the ring).All interaction is free without central controlStandards are needed for the interactionsIs there a need for a platform / infrastructure to coordinate interactions?

SAP Services mantra:Services willbecome tradablecomposed from services of different providers be offered, delivered & executed automatically & supported by IT

The Internet of Services will offercustomized & personalized servicescommunity involvement to improve services, both for providers & consumers of services seamless & smooth adaptation and integration of services into the user environment
Message:Traditional telecom operators see revenue streams under attack by regulation, competition by other operators, and new playersIncumbents explore new markets, e.g. letting third parties create services building on incumbents servicesCommon software building blocks typically limited to mobile related functions
