SMU: Towards Cloud Oriented Service MashUp

Based on increasing popularity of cloud computing, social computing and web 2.0 technology, Internet resources are extremely increasing. How to provide service invoking interfaces ceaselessly while minimizing the cost of service development, which can meet the growing needs of end users, becomes a challenging issue for service providers. Meanwhile, service mashup technology is getting more attention in both enterprise and academia for building new end users applications fast in the complex and heterogeneous network environment. Therefore, we propose a new method of service mashup with the advantages of the cloud, grid, web services and other technologies. We develop cloud oriented Service MashUp system prototype (SMU). In SMU, we support the service information interaction, classification, and process during the procedure of service mashup to meet various needs of the multi-level and the multi-role of service applications. Our experiments show that SMU can reach the purpose of building personal service applications quickly and easily.
