SPACE is a service hosting and execution platform and portal which is based on loosely coupled, modular platform services. SPACE provides an extensible and customisable base platform for the Internet of Services. As such, it is the central building block to several projects of the Open Source Service Platform Research Initiative.

The first part of this wiki contains information on the following platform services which form SPACE:

  • Access Gate - Authentication and authorisation proxy
  • ConQo - Semantic service discovery, making use of WSMO and especially WSMO4IoS
  • Contract Wizard - User-centric contracting facility, includes SLA Manager for WSAG+VT
  • Grand SLAM - SLA-driven modular system and service monitor
  • MaaS - Monitoring-as-a-Service
  • Provider Wizard - Service provisioning management
  • Puq - a Unified Hosting Environment
  • Ratings - Access to contract-bound user ratings

Further platform services used in SPACE integrated scenarios:

  • Dynvoker - Ad-hoc web service invocation
  • NFPcalc - Adaptivity through predictable non-functional property reconfiguration
  • Privacy Cage - Policy-controlled service wrapper execution
  • PyPEL - BPEL engine for Python
  • Rusco - Ruby Services Container
  • Servbank - Dummy financial account management service
  • MDCS & SAL - Metadata Correlation Service & Service Abstraction Layer
  • Noosfero - Extensions for a service-delivering social network
  • Userman - Interface to the user database
  • Nodeman - Management of distributed execution servers
  • Cloud - Scalable, elastic cloud service hosting based on Eucalyptus

Further tools used in experiments and for demonstrating SPACE instances:

  • IoS Desktop - Service-integrated desktop tooling
  • MPWS - Mass Production of Web Services
  • Pica-Pica - Web service description crawler and property analyser
  • KardaMoM - Real-time message transmission inspection
  • SPACEagent - IoS activity simulator for automatic negotiation and invocation
  • Experimental Facility - SPACEflight-based environment to perform controlled experiments
  • TEXO Open Source - Integration with published demonstrators from THESEUS/TEXO
  • Service Engineering - Tools for modelling and development of services
