  <description><![CDATA[Managing virtualized services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge.  We propose a semantically rich, policy-based framework to automate the lifecycle of cloud services. We have divided the IT service lifecycle into the five phases of requirements, discovery, negotiation, composition, and consumption. We detail each phase and describe the high level ontologies that we have developed to describe them. Our research complements previous work on ontologies for service descriptions in t...]]></description>

Current research is focused on specific issues of Virtualized Services like Service Discovery, composition etc. In this talk I will review the existing research that is being conducted in this new field, especially in developing Service methodology and measuring service quality. I will also present the initial work that I have done in developing the Service lifecycle methodolog...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Regarding information technology (IT) artifacts as services delivered to the end user (XaaS) is a paradigm shift that is fast changing the way management looks at the role of IT within an organization.  IT Service development and maintenance which was in the past regarded as an integral part of an organization, has been outsourced or off shored by most companies to external consultants who provide onsite or hosted services. This outsourcing model is now being replaced by a new delivery model ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[ Delivery of IT Service is moving away from a single provider mode, and is increasingly based on the composition of multiple services and assets (technological, human, or process) that may be supplied by one or more service providers distributed across the network – in the cloud. Moreover, a single service could be a part of many composite services as needed. The service, in effect, is virtualized on the cloud.

  <description><![CDATA[Currently, software and hardware system components are trending toward modularized and virtualized as atomic services on the cloud. A number of cloud platforms or marketplaces are available where everybody can provide their system components as services. In this situation, service composition is essential, because the functionalities offered by a single atomic service might not satisfy users‘ complex requirements. Since there are already a large number of available services and significant ...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Managing virtualized services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge. Traditional models of software development are not appropriate for the cloud computing domain, where software (and other) services are acquired on demand. In this paper, we describe a new integrated methodology for the life cycle of IT services delivered on the cloud and demonstrate how it can be used to represent and reason about services and service requirements and so automate service acquisition and consumption...]]></description>

Managing these services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge.  We are developing a policy-based integrated framework for automating acquisition and consumption of Cloud services.

  <description><![CDATA[Managing the quality of virtualized services that are delivered on the cloud is very challenging. Such services are often composed of smaller components that are assembled on an as-needed basis. In this paper, we propose a framework to measure and semi-automatically track quality delivered by a Virtualized service delivery system. The framework provides a mechanism to relate hard metrics typically measured at the backstage of the delivery process to quality related hard and soft metrics track...]]></description>

This means that a composite service is delivered to end users as a single product.  This composite Service comprises of individual services that could be produced by different sources. Each service in turn depends on backend services (such as database, web server) and resources (such as storage, bandwidth, CPU) for it’s successful delivery. It provides consumer...]]></description>
