Whats NESSI?
The story of NESSI
The context - European Technology PlatformPrivate-public
partnershipIndustrial leadershipUniting all stakeholdersAround a
key, strategic area
Strategic?Europes future growthEuropes competitiveness
Link?Requires major research and technological advancesIn the
medium to long term
NESSI aims to provide a unified view for European research in
Services Architectures and Software Infrastructures
Today, NESSI partners represent 1.7 Million strong workforce and
490 B in revenues
NESSI has presented an initial Strategic Research Agenda that
represents a global investment of 2.5 B
In a world of convergence

Tomorrow the Internet will be strategic because of
services
The challenge of NESSI
Transforming the Internet to service your life
ensuring that services can be provided to all, citizens and
businesses alike, in safe, secure, reliable, extensible, scalable
environments
The vision of NESSI
This evolution requires a service oriented environment
NESSI companies have recognised that no single company can or should harness the power of such an environment
NESSI is a partnership that will ensure the emergence of a
service environment allowing for

Introduction: Goal & Evolution
Goal: A Vision & SRA fora grid-like service-oriented
infrastructure for business environments and business
applications
Evolutionfrom adhoc view out of the consortium to a broad perspective from the European community to a consolidated roadmap.
Timeline

SRA 3.0 in a nutshell
SRA version 3.0 and the most important new features:clear vision
for future service-oriented infrastructurecomprehensive methodology
approach considering heterogeneous viewpointsclear specification of
business application context9 core business scenarios: Enterprise,
Hierarchical Enterprise, Hosting, Extended enterprise, Dynamic
Outsourcing, Mergers & acquisitions, Virtual organizations,
Business value networks, Mega ServicesSotA analysis including ~180
references on related infrastructure technologies, research fields
and technology trendsDerivation of 47 challenges with clear
traceabilitySpecification and assessment of 17 business
indicatorsRoadmap analysis of scenario relevance & challenge
characteristics
Context
Context: Business ApplicationsOnline applications: Most business
applications are online.Clients of business applications care about
the response time they observe.Industrial benchmarks for online
applications set strict statistical distribution thresholds for the
provided response times.Stateful nature:Business applications are
typically stateful: Conversational (sessions) or persistent
state.Persistent state is updateable with typical workloads ranging
from 20-50% of updates.Transactional Semantics:State belongs to
business so it requires consistency guarantees.In the advent of
concurrent accesses to shared state isolation should be provided.In
the advent of failures, all-or-nothing semantics should be
guaranteed.The outcome of successful transactions should be durable
despite failures.Multi-Tier ArchitecturesBusiness applications are
typically constructed on top of multi-tier architectures.Their
gridification should be transparent.
*
Context
Context: What is Different from Scientific Applications?Online vs.
offline: Scientific applications are characterized by being batch
applications.The main concern is high utilization of the underlying
infrastructure.No concern about response time of individual
requests.Stateful vs. stateless:Scientific applications typically
stateless.Persistent state typically read-only, in some cases
write-once read-many.Read-only workloads.Transactional
Semantics:Scientific applications are not concerned about
transactional semantics.Scientific grids are not aware of
transactions.Multi-Tier Architectures:Scientific applications are
not typically built on top of multi-tier architectures.Scientific
grids are not aware of multiple tiers.

Business Scenarios
Business scenariosEnterprise: core scenario for traditional
infrastructuresHierarchical Enterprise: includes notion of
enterprise policy hierarchiesHosting: special case of enterprise
& virtual organisationExtended enterprise: includes devices
beyond the traditional backend (pervasive, sensors, )Dynamic
Outsourcing: dynamic migration of IT resources between
administrative domainsMergers & acquisitions: merge of
previously separated administrative domainsVirtual organizations:
multi-party (at least 3) collaboration and resource/service
sharingBusiness value networks: complex chains including multiple
providers/administrative domainsMega Services: services to millions
of customers across the globe

Research Challenges
47 research challengesData Management (scalability, low latency
geo, autonomy)Application Development (automatic parallelism,
mobility app support, automatic distribution)Network Connectivity
(end2end, heterogeneity, mobility, adaptiveMiddleware)Accounting
and SLAs (transparent, holistic)Dependability (self healing, cost
awareness, mobile)Security (isolated zones, policies, identity
mngmt, reputation&trust)Performance (predictable
virtualisation, integrated scheduling, prediction, resource

Conclusions: Key Challenges
New system architecturesharmonize & advance SOA, SOI,
multi-tier, federated and Internet scalesupport all kinds of
business models, applications and emerging HW env.provide
transparent and integrated access for all relevant stakeholders
Advanced system lifecycle approaches support transparent knowledge tracking, feedback loops, prediction and simulation from engineering to decommissioning clear separation of concerns between different stakeholders (Biz vs. IT, )adhering to overarching sustainability req. for full variety of Biz scenarios
Advanced infrastructure technologies in terms of hardware
(energy efficient, flexible allocation, virtualization )middleware
(scalability, new multi-tier system design, flexible storage
systems, harmonized virtualization on all layers)related
programming models (parallel & distributed programming,
multi-core)

And today, the most important development is the move from this
rather simple, relative positionning to active collaboration around
the theme of Future Internet. Making the convergence a reality,
from Internet of Things to Internet of Services.
