A Service-oriented Network Infrastructure for Crossover Service Ecosystems

Abstract

Crossover service networks have become a trend promoting cross-enterprise, field, and -industry cooperation. As an innovation process for enterprises, crossover services can provide users creative, novel, and amalgamated services by breaking traditional organization, business, and domain boundaries. However, business and interface inconsistencies in today's crossover service ecosystems make crossover cooperation difficult and time-consuming. We designed a crossover service ecosystem-oriented network that provides a sound framework for efficiently deploying, publishing, discovering, composing, monitoring, and optimizing access on crossover services to fully deliver the potential of them. Furthermore, a prototype of the service network, namely JTangYdrail, is introduced, where service switches and service routers are designed to provide the transparency between the complex crossover service environment and the convenient user service access.
