AbstractSoftware services are managed from a single machine performing a service. Service providers offering SaaS applications solicit the single machine. Each service provider provides roles and device requirements for performing the corresponding SaaS.

Whenever a software service is needed, the single machine inventories its client devices for their resource capabilities and compares to the device requirements in the database.
