A new service delivery open platform (SDOP) architecture

Abstract

Grid computing, utility computing, P2P computing, service computing and cloud computing, such as technological development is leading the future of networks resources, services resources, data resources toward shared, on-demand, and the tendency of promoting utility. To develop an internationally advanced course of study on service sciences has enormous opportunities, especially in service composing, service providing and the quality of service. However, there is not a complete framework for service delivery platform enables the open sharing of service resources, on-demand services delivery, service capabilities together combination, and service capacity delivery. In this paper, we introduce the layered architecture of service delivery open platform (SDOP), and particularly describe the components and the functions of SDOP. In conclusion, we present our recommended SDOP architecture and point out that the horizontal, layered SDOP architecture will help service operators to build a new service management and operation platform, such as B2B electronic commerce, digital education and digital medical, that provides security credible integrated services and open access to heterogeneous data, massive resources network capabilities and services capabilities.
