A Single Sign-On (SSO) framework reduces the burden on the end user to provide authentication credentials to these separate services thus it is a desirable feature for systems and applications that are based on multiple Web Services. One under-addressed issue in the field of Web Services composition is authentication between disparate services using different authentication methods or protocols. Eucalyptus provides a set of upper layer services for users to provision devices and applications running on high-speed broadband networks, as well as the commercial IP networks. Eucalyptus provides a single point of entry for the architects to access a wide variety of tools: videoconference applications, visualization services, rendering services employing parallel computers, etc. Eucalyptus can manage and configure the resources needed by geographically distributed groups of architects who need to collaborate in real time on the design of buildings, in a virtual participatory design studio (PDS). Our user community consists of architects and industrial designers. They can be integrated into Eucalyptus using a set of Web service-enabled APIs. Eucalyptus is built on a set of generic fine-grained Web services to manage and configure available resources, where new resources can be custom-built or imported from a third party. The Eucalyptus prototype is developed as an empirical application to test this approach. This paper introduces a service-oriented approach for creating an agile infrastructure to provision devices, applications, and their underlying networks.

To address these issues, we propose an extensible, reliable, and simple software architecture that can hide the complexity of provisioning the network and running the tools. Moreover, some tools may require specific configurations done by technical experts. They are often running on a variety of platforms, have different bandwidth and QoS requirements, and in most cases they cannot be accessed through a single point of entry. New tools or applications may be acquired and old tools may become obsolete over time.

Most industries and organizations use collections of tools, devices, and applications that are growing in complexity.
