Abstract

SaaS emphasizes the concept of “customization” and it can provide a higher level of service customizability, dynamic adaptability and customer transparency. By abstracting software functions into “services”, expanding the grammar of the typical Pi calculus, and identifying the mapping between the progress theory and service evolution, this paper proposes a cumulative evolution model of SaaS service based on an expanded Pi calculus. It first analyses four atom cumulative evolution models and then presents the integration among them. The four atom cumulative evolution models are respectively the sequential, the reverse, the simultaneous and the consecutive and for each of the models, the formula is accordingly demonstrated. The model this paper proposes is supposed to contribute to the customizability and dynamic adaptability of SaaS services so that the evolutionary process of the services should be more transparent for customers and thus the customers should have better on-line experiences.
