“…Several approaches have been proposed aiming at more agile and flexible software systems, among them is shortening the software development process by improving the methods applied in this process [22]. In this context, [23] sufficiently prepared for application areas, where system boundaries are not static, but are subject to continuous change.…”

Abstract. In many application areas, vendors offer to their clients combinations of software products and services, which can be considered as software-service bundles. The clients select a combination of software product and associated service best suited to their individual requirements and circumstances. The bundle usually has to be configured by the vendor to fit the specific situation of the client. When circumstances change, the software-service bundle or its configuration need adaptation. The article proposes a method helping clients to select the most appropriate combination or configuration. The method is based on information sharing between the vendor and client and also supports the continuous improvement of the solution in response to changing circumstances. The method applies principles and techniques of the Capability Driven Development to specify performance objectives and contextual factors affecting delivery of a software-service bundle. Application of the method is shown using an illustrative case of a data processing service from utility industries.

“…As noted by Bell (2008) and Bennett et al (2005), a service is a well defined piece of encapsulated software which has a single function or action (Bell 2008;Bennett et al 2000). It provides an intrinsic component level construction kit for building software systems from unitary software routines which are available through a networked, frequently multiple, broker mediated environment (Foster and Tuecke 2005).…”

“…Companies such as Nokia have been very successful in the production of a family of products (Bennett et al 2000), all of which have the same basic features but also have a wide range of product differentiation and configurability, so that all sectors of the consumer and business market are served with satisfactory telecommunication products and services for the task (Van der Linden 2002).

onsumer Information Systems (CIS) are Information Systems, which provide services primarily to consumers instead of addressing needs of users in traditional organizational settings. Examples of such systems are Internet protocol television (IPTV) services, which are being launch globally at the moment. Design of such information systems and software typically involves a trade-off between achieving high service productivity and quality. To this end, the use of modularization has been proposed as a possibility. Our paper presents a framework that can potentially achieve such modularization for consumer information systems. We take the perspective that such modularization should be done at a service systems level and that we should not only regard CIS as software or technology, but as a service provided for consumers. We apply the framework to three New Zealand IPTV service offerings and investigate how it applies.

“…Cloud computing allows users and companies to pay for and use the software and storage that they need, when they need then and as wireless broadband connection options grow, where they need them. This type of software deployment is called Software as a Service (SaaS) [9]. [10] Many of the underlying technologies such as grid computing, peer-to-peer computing have a direct contribution to cloud computing.…”

Cloud computing is a new method to add capabilities to a computer without licensing new software, investing in new hardware or infrastructure or training new personnel. Applications are purchased, licensed and run over the network instead of users desktop. It provides common business applications online that are that are accessed from a web browser, while the software and data are stored on the servers. The web is a global hypertext system, has evolved into a distributed application platform, in which the application logic and user interface are two separate entities. As we move toward the cloud computing web platform, web from web content to web of applications, the bulk of user data applications will reside in the network cloud. Web applications are a critical part of internet infrastructure and are used for banking, email, financial management, online shopping, auctions, social networking and the corporations such as Google, Microsoft and yahoo expend considerable effort to keep up with the growing demand for communication-heavy internet services which require image and video sharing, social networking and searching. There is a shift from displaying information using locally installed programs towards displaying information on a browser. In this paper, we give special importance to the connection between cloud computing and web application. Also we discuss the advantages of cloud computing and survey challenges and issues related to cloud computing.
