Service Engineering

From SPACE Wiki

While SPACE represents a service platform, the lifecycle of services from the idea to the implementation and finally the deployment on the platform is a highly related topic. A number of tools are available (and will be integrated on future SPACEflight releases) to demonstrate contemporary service engineering.

Bundler

The service package bundler assembles and uploads service artefacts. It is a PyQt4 tool written especially for the needs of an integrated service engineering toolchain for the Internet of Services. While implementation artefacts are just displayed, descriptive artefacts can be added and modified with registered external editors. Bundler supports heterogeneous package and artefact formats to match the capabilities of the SPACE platform services. The bundler code resides in the SPACE git repository in packaging/scripts/develtools/bundler.
