These advances will significantly improve the all-round security of the Ios, and thus boost its development and public acceptance.

The ERP hosting use case (Section 4) contains many aspects of a software cloud. 3. 3 Interlinkage with System Management SLA-driven system management is the primary approach discussed in this paper.
Software services could potentially be selected by choosing a virtual machine template which contains pre-loaded applications,
but software layer considerations are considered not core to this Use Case and are dealt more comprehensively with in the ERP Hosting Use Case.
Such a solution typically consists of a software package (an application) but also some business-level activities,
At the next level, there are the actual software applications, such as for example a hosted ERP SOFTWARE package. At the next level, there are the required middleware components
which are used equally for different applications. At the lowest layer, there are the infrastructure resources, delivered through an internal or external cloud.
Each service layer is associated with a dedicated SLA, containing service level objectives which are specific to this layer.
The Application SLA is mainly about the throughput capacity of the software solution, its response time,
The Middleware SLA specifies the capacity of the middleware components, the response time guarantee of the middleware components
and the costs required for the offering. The Infrastructure SLA specifies the characteristics of the virtual or physical resources (CPU speed, memory,
the application, the middleware, and the infrastructure artefacts. From a technical perspective, the most difficult piece in the realization of the whole use case was the knowledge discovery about the nonfunctional behaviour of the different components, e g. the performance characteristics of the middleware.

Nevertheless, the future intentions are to implement the FINLAN ontology in Linux operating system kernel level,
since the methods proposed would be available at the operating system level. 4 Conclusions This paper has presented the FINLAN ontology works in a collaboration perspective with some Future Internet projects.
Future work will implement the FINLAN ontology at the Linux kernel level and run performance

Together, they need to cooperate in developing a new breed of services, tools, software packages, interfaces and user interaction solutions that are not available at the present time.

seen as the new frontier to software components aimed at achieving agile system architectures. Section V provides some conclusions
methods and tools, supporting the idea that large software systems can be created starting from independent, reusable collections of preexisting software components.
This technical area is referred often to as Component Based Software engineering (CBSE. The basic idea of software componentization is quite the same as software modularization,
but mainly focused on reuse. CBSE distinguishes the process of"component development"from that of"system development with components 9. CBSE laid the groundwork for the Object oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm that in a short time imposed itself over the preexisting modular software development techniques.
OOP aims at developing applications and software systems that provide a high level of data abstraction and modularity (using technologies such as COM,.
, NET, EJB and J2ee. Another approach to componentization is that of the Multi Agent Systems (MAS),
heterogeneous, interacting software agents. Agents mark a fundamental difference from conventional software modules in that they are inherently autonomous and endowed with advanced communication capability 10.
On the other side, the spread of the Internet technologies and the rising of new communication paradigms, has encouraged the development of loosely coupled and highly interoperable software architectures through the spread of the Service-Oriented approach,
and the consequent proliferation of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). SOA is an architectural approach whose goal is to achieve loose coupling among interacting software services, i e.,
, units of work performed by software applications, typically communicating over the Internet 11. In general, a SOA will be implemented starting from a collection of components (e-services) of two different sorts.
Some services will have a‘technical'nature, conceived to the specific needs of ICT people; some other will have a‘business'nature,
where business expert can directly manage a new generation enterprise software architectures. Cloud computing represents an innovative way to architect
and the hardware and system software in the datacenters that provide those services 12. Cloud computing may be considered the basic support for a brand new business reality where FINERS can easily be searched,
to ease software development processes. Conversely, we propose to base a FINES architecture on building blocks based on business components.

The Cloud Middleware plane corresponds to the User-level Middleware, providing Platform as a service capabilities based on Iaas Framework components 5. The top Management plane or User level focuses on application services by making use of services provided by the lower layer

section 5 presents conclusions and an outlook. 2 City and Urban Development Challenges In the early 1990s the phrase"smart city"was coined to signify how urban development was turning towards technology,
middleware and agent technologies as they become embedded into the physical spaces of cities. The emphasis on smart embedded devices represents a distinctive characteristic of smart cities compared to intelligent cities

and interoperable communication protocols where physical and virtual things are integrated seamlessly into the information network 5. The Internet of Services (Ios):
namely Iot and Ios, can be essential building blocks in future Smart Cities open innovation platforms.
and Ios as ICT Building blocks for Smart Cities In the analysis from Forrester research 9 on the role that ICT will play in creating the foundation for Smart Cities,
Ios evolution must be correlated undoubtedly with Iot advances. Otherwise, a number of future Smart City services will never have an opportunity to be conceived due to the lack of the required links to the real world.
and challenges of implementing Iot and Ios at the city scale. Starting with the benefits of Iot technologies, they are twofold:
Considering now the Ios, it must be stressed that it is recognized widely (see for example 12) that the real impact of future Iot developments is tied heavily to the parallel evolution of the Ios. So,
a Smart City could only become a true open innovation platform through the proper harmonization of Ios and Iot.
Thus the integration of innovative principles and philosophy of Ios will engage collective end-user intelligence from Web 2. 0
The technological challenge of developing the Ios has been assumed at EU level, and actions are being initiated to overcome the undesirable dissociation between technological
