Service Component Architecture for Vending Machine System in Cloud Computing Infrastructure

This paper proposes a software integration model of service component architecture in the vending industry. We use this architecture to rapidly integrate related services, substantially reduce development costs, establish innovative services, and provide consumers with a brand new experiential shopping environment in retail domain. Meanwhile, we apply a cloud computing technology to solve the following problem: service over loading in a distributed environment. We also discover many issues that will happen with system scaling up in smart store, such as virtual integration, location-based shopping service, personal services, and product optimization. Therefore we use cloud computing to solve these discussed issues. Finally, this paper gives two services as an example to be implemented in the vending industry. The research provides a cloud-based integration system that composes other services easily. The results of this research can increase development speed, and decrease poorly-done work over again and time consumption. It also makes allowance for system stability and scalability.
