Abstract

In order to fuel new emerging service markets, next generation service delivery framework have to be based on an highly distributed and open architectures adopting innovative technologies capable of enabling features such as robustness, security, stability and scalability. The talk will elaborate on RT&D activities and results concerning a Distributed Service Framework (DSF) solution that has been designed as an innovative open eco-system for ICT/Telecommunications services. Specifically, the DSF architecture is based on multiple autonomic components that are interacting each other via a self-organising overlay. Particular attention is devoted to the service execution environment of the DSF where scalability and dynamic load balancing are met by self-organization capabilities of the components. The design choices, specifically the autonomic and altruistic local behavior of components and "ServiceSpace", enable global features effortlessly, simplifying implementation and management complexities.
