SaaS

SaaS is a concept formed by the run-time loose bundling of software functionalities orchestrated to solve a specific problem and rendered as services over a network. The most effective way to interoperability and quality of service is to adopt a common SOA framework for all services. Each individual service is compiled, but orchestration among services must be independent and can be hosted in an orchestration engine where all run-time binding takes place. The resulting loosely coupled services are much easier to deal with when reusing them for new applications.

The latest SaaS lab has reused past QoS Labs’ research work on ASP and SOA applied to Web 2.0 (the Social Web) and Web 3.0 (the Semantic Web).  Common aspects of QoS Labs’ research since its inception keep up with quality of service, innovation and the next generations of the Web, as the ideal platform to deliver applications.
