Editorial Update
Update for archive. Some broken links, new storage, etc.
No development.
This is a historic release with maximum authenticity.
Some web-links and build issues are corrected for the complete display only.
Some canceled former repositories are replaced - e.g.
Google Code
and
BerliOS
are replaced by
GitHub
and
Bitbucket.
No content changes are made.
Thus some references are still outdated and may not match.
Release dates as represented by the automated build tools in some documents
referring to the latest build date are erroneous.
The actual release dates are of 2009.

Abstract
UnifiedSessionsManager - ctys
The "UnifiedSessionsManager" is a unified and simplified interface for usage and
management of local and remote sessions on physical and virtual machines.
The main advance offered by the UnifiedSessionsManager is
the simplified provisioning and daily use of complex
runtime environments.
-
Management of distributed and stacked Virtual Machines.
-
Management of Desktops and Workspaces on Multiple Monitors.
-
Seamless access to all types of sessions.
-
Support of encrypted connections only, based on SSH.
Usability
The main building block for the casual daily
useabilitiy is the handling of the desktop
presentation of the managed entities supported by the
"Xinerama" mode of X11.
Resources
Initial native support is provided for
CLI, X11, VNC, QEMU, VMW(VMware-Workstation/Server/Player), XEN,
and with the distributions CentOS/RHEL, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian,
Ubuntu, OpenBSD, and Solaris.
Any other GuestOS is supported by means of control of the hypervisor.

Virtualization and Cloud Computing
The UnifiedSessionsManager provides
an integration framework for operations and
management of local and remote sessions on physical
and virtual machines.
The conceptional building blocks for the establishment
and management of location independent
resources of interactive and server
based services are implemented.
Therefore a generic abstraction layer
is provided which integrates various
hypervisors, remote access utilities
and local desktop functionality into a
seamless and simplified commandline interface.
The integration of physical and
virtual machines with native OS
access into netsted
stacks of virtual machines -
v-stacks
- founds the basic services for
advanced Cloud Computing.

A preview to the future of SOA and SaaS
The UnifiedSessionsManager provides
particularly the environment for definition of virtual roaming
services to be used as
v-services consisting of
v-modules.
This is the perfect and possibly the only viable
approach to handle "clouds of software services" in a
dynamic online relocatable approach.
