WP-SoE 1.1 (“Virtual Campus”) aims among others to make widely available various lectures and training programmes on research and applications of software services, including a joint Masters and PhD programme. In this deliverable and as a step towards this goal, we collected learning material from S-Cube partners, undertook an initial classification of the items, and provided a description of the material currently available. We further provided a preliminary overview of joint curricula derived from the available material, and suggested gaps in the current collection that may be addressed by subsequent additions as part of upcoming S-Cube deliverables.

WP-SoE 1.2 (“Community Outreach”) aims among others to disseminate S-Cube research outcomes among the wider scientific community, notably using electronic means to reach individuals and institutions external to the consortium. This deliverable reports on learning material that was collected from S-Cube partners with a view to making it available on an online platform. It provides an overview and a description of the initial set of material currently available, and highlights gaps in the current collection that ought to be addressed by subsequent collection within S-Cube.

In order to perform outreach through these routes this document describes policies that will ensure these activities meet the overall goals and objectives of the S-Cube SoE activity. The purpose of this report is to describe the organization of specialised workshops targeting diverse scientific communities to spread awareness and scientific results. It describes the conferences, workshops and other events that took place during the second year of S-Cube. The project expects at least one workshop to be organized for each research theme of S-Cube, and workshops will be organised at least annually with themes differing every year.

In particular, in this deliverable we harmonize and document the refinements of the case studies of deliverable CD-IA-2.2.2 with the scenarios proposed for validation as a joint effort with IA3.2. The aim is to provide a definition of the pilot cases that will be used as reference by the research work-packages.

In order to perform outreach through these routes this document describes policies that will ensure these activities meet the overall goals and objectives of the S-Cube SoE activity. The report identifies end-user communities, research organizations, industries and policy makers in both Europe and worldwide as the targets of community outreach. It also identifies FP6 and FP7 funded projects through the SSAI&E working groups as the ideal vehicle for spreading S-Cube research results to other communities. The report emphasizes that S-Cube strives to become a worldwide point of reference as software services research and stipulates that target communities must have high-visibility, excellence and influence in the field. Several candidate communities are identified and details regarding how to collaborate with policy makers and research funding agencies are outlined No publisher Sammodi Deliverable 2010-05-17T13:52:50Z File http://www.s-cube-network.eu/results/deliverables/wp-jra-1.3/CD-JRA-1.3.3_Initial%20Concepts%20for%20Specifying%20End-to-End%20Quality%20Characteristics_papers.pdf The aim of this deliverable is two-fold. Firstly, it aims at defining the initial concepts for specifying and negotiating end-to-end quality, i.e., a service quality meta-model suitable for the definition and negotiation of service quality specifications and SLAs. The research method for creating this quality meta-model follows a design approach. Initially, requirements are collected dictating the information, structure, and constraints that this meta-model should capture. Then, based on these requirements, the meta-model is designed and finally created. Secondly, this deliverable aims at proposing a methodology for decomposing end-to-end quality into quality specifications for individual SLAs. The research method for achieving this goal follows a hybrid approach: a proof-of-concept and a paper-based approach. In particular, the meta-model’s effectiveness and sufficiency is highlighted by modeling a composite service negotiation scenario and its result, which is a decomposition of end-to-end quality into quality specifications of individual SLAs. Then, initial attempts (materialized in papers of WP members) are provided that address (composite) service negotiation.

We introduce the area of Service-Oriented Systems Engineering (SOSE) and discuss on how it is different from Traditional Software Engineering (TSE), while still recognising that both of these disciplines have important inputs to make to the development of Service-Oriented Systems. We progress with further development of the S-Cube life-cycle focusing on requirements, design and adaptation. From the requirements perspective, we investigate context-aware requirements discovery and specification, exploring whether existing models can be applied to improve requirements specification. From the design perspective, we suggest design principles and guidelines that are suitable to enable adaptation. From the adaptation perspective, we investigate SOSE and TSE to present practices for adaptation. Finally, we propose a unified formal model for dealing with the effects of iterative and localized changes between any two interacting service consumers and providers No publisher Sammodi Deliverable KeyDeliverable 2010-05-17T13:59:40Z File http://www.s-cube-network.eu/results/deliverables/wp-jra-1.2/PO-JRA-1.2.3_Baseline%20of%20Adaptation%20and%20Monitoring%20Principles%20Techniques%20and%20Methods_papers.pdf The goal of this document is twofold. First, the document aims to define the baseline for the adaptation and monitoring principles, techniques, and methodologies across functional SBA layers. For this purpose, the document describes the functional structure of SBA and shows the existing and potential adaptation and monitoring approaches and mechanisms within those layers. These mechanisms will form the basic building blocks on top of which the future cross-layer adaptation and monitoring frameworks and approaches will be founded. Using a set of scenarios, the document shows and classifies a set of problems and requirements that the cross-layer adaptation and monitoring framework should address. It is then shown how these requirements are mapped into the required principles and mechanisms and how the initial research results of the partners contribute to the framework. Second, the document provides a detailed survey and a classification of the monitoring approaches that focus on context and HCI aspects. In this way, the survey provides a starting point for defining and elaborating novel integrated monitoring approaches that consider context, user and user interaction aspects, which are subject of research in the work-package task T-JRA-1.2.3 No publisher Sammodi Deliverable KeyDeliverable 2010-06-08T13:34:18Z File http://www.s-cube-network.eu/results/deliverables/wp-ia-3.1/CD-IA-3.1.1_Integration%20Framework%20Baseline.pdf This document describes the baseline of the S-Cube Integrated Research Framework. The objective of this framework, which will be constantly and incrementally refined and extended throughout the whole life of the project, is to provide a holistic vision that integrates, aligns and coordinates the research efforts and results of the joint research activities undertaken in JRA-1 and JRA-2. The baseline for the Integrated Research Framework described in this document consists of a set of views which define different perspectives on the S-Cube research: conceptual framework, reference life-cycle, logical run-time architecture, logical design environment. In this deliverable, we provide a description of these views and a first definition of the interfaces between the elements of the framework. We map the research efforts undertaken in the different joint research activities into these views. Finally, we define responsibilities for the different research work-packages, and relationships among them, in terms of their contributions to these views.

It provides the foundations for the research in the WP JRA-2.2 by establishing a preliminary framework for QoS-aware adaptable service compositions. We present initial research results in some areas of this framework, in particular on models of service compositions, top-down development, and monitoring and adaptation of service compositions. The work will be continued and extended in the follow-up deliverables.

Starting from this framework, the refined conceptual models and taxonomies of SBA monitoring and adaptation are provided. The deliverable also demonstrates how the presented taxonomies are instantiated across functional SBA layers and involved research disciplines.
