Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method in a networked computer system for instantiating a service on a network, the method comprising: responsive to service infrastructure manager middleware receiving a request for the service at a quality of service via the network, determining by a processing unit in the networked computer system communicatively coupled to the service infrastructure manager middleware whether the service is available at the requested quality of service, wherein the service infrastructure manager middleware generates a dependency graph to enable the service at the requested quality of service and generates a configuration dependency graph that defines an order in which allocated components that comprise the service are to be deployed and configured, and wherein the service infrastructure manager middleware retrieves a business process execution language installation workflow to execute installation steps for dependent components not yet installed; responsive to the service being unavailable at the requested quality of service, performing by the processing unit communicatively coupled to the service infrastructure manager middleware an analysis of components associated with the service to identify resources needed to create the service; based on the analysis, allocating by the service infrastructure manager middleware resources to support the service; and instantiating by the service infrastructure manager middleware the service on the network at the requested quality of service after the resources have been allocated.
