The joint project Service Design Studio (SDS) is a research project of the Leading-Edge Cluster EffizienzCluster LogistikRuhr, contributing to the topic Logistics-as-a-Service. The project has the primary goal to develop a Web-based, cloud-oriented service platform which allows utilizing existing logistics IT services as secure and billable commercial products via cloud solutions and/or softwareas- a-service platforms like, e.g., Amazon Web Services or the Logistics Mall (Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster, 2012). In this article, we present a prototypical execution environment for the SDS as the result of a Proof-of-Concept implementation to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.enCloud ComputingSOAservice-oriented market placeslogisticssecuritybillingUSDLintegrationXaaS004presentation
