Abstract

Service Oriented Infrastructures including Grid and Cloud Computing are technologies in a critical transition to wider adoption by business. Their use may enable enterprises to achieve optimal IT utilization, including sharing resources and services across-enterprises and on-demand utilization of those made available by business partners over the network. This chapter presents an introduction to, and an overview of, a selection of common capabilities (i.e. services capturing reusable functionality of IT solutions) that have been applied to tackle challenging business problems and were validated in real-life business trials covering most European market sectors. The remaining of the book elaborates these results, explains the process that was used to produce them.
