The Open Source Service Platform Research initiative is comprised of a number of individual prototypes which were contributed, improved or integrated by a number of students and research staff.

Staff:

• Josef Spillner - overall coordination

Student workers and internships:

• Bastian Buder - worked on ConQo, the quality- and context-sensitive service discovery, and Contract Wizard, the user-centric contract management tool, now both parts of the base service platform SPACE
• Anton Caceres - worked on service-oriented social network integration and on service description crawling for the Crowdserving portal, which is an instance of the Social Service Network extension
• Sascha Giebner - works on testing and debugging SPACEflight for evaluating its readiness in practical exercises with students
• Jan Hoyer - worked on Grand SLAM, the SLA-driven system and service monitor, and on Monitoring-as-a-Service (MaaS) maintenance, now both parts of the base service platform SPACE
• Christian Knauer - worked on a Monitoring as a Service (MaaS) module and visualisation of monitoring data in SPACE
• Ujwal Kumar - worked on various topics related to the Crowdserving portal
• Ronny Kursawe - worked on the Social Service Network extension to integrate the platform services visually, and on the Real World Services in Dresden evaluation study on Crowdserving
• Johannes Schad - works on the configuration of virtual machines in the Eucalyptus cloud stack, as needed by the Cloud hosting extension, and on the API for the Social Service Network extension
• Ronny Seiger - worked on the deployment, instantiation and configuration of virtual machines in Eucalyptus for the Cloud hosting extension
• Stephan Zepezauer - works on the description of data and resource services for the ConQo discovery in SPACE

Master and assignment thesis results:

• Michael Bär - worked on WS-Payment for setting up contracts and tariff options for web service usage, which influenced the design of Contract Wizard in SPACE
• Sebastian Köhn - worked on the mass production of web services from command-line tools, creating the MPWS service set for Crowdserving
• Thomas Muckwar - worked on the optimisation of the ConQo and MaaS platform services in SPACE
• Michael Reiher - worked on the desktop integration of service platforms and produced the Internet of Services desktop extension
• Torsten Schiefer - worked on extending the Contract Wizard tool with aspects of contract negotiation and ratings, now part of SPACE
• Matthias Simon - worked on operating-system-level execution of BPEL processes, thus significantly enhancing the PyPEL process engine [external project]
• Emerson Veríssimo - worked on dynamic service selection through balancing proxies and BPEL extensions, influencing the design of the Access Gate proxy in the base service platform SPACE
