Cyber-Infrastructure (CI) is a critical element in achieving novel scientific discoveries and helping the research and development of new technologies. The next generation of research supporting CI should provide dynamic end-to-end platforms with guaranteed resource allocation and allow users to easily deploy the cyber-system elements and adapt them towards their current and future requirements. In this paper we consider a programmable cyber architecture which can implement this next generation of CI and discuss how the user requirements are met. This is based on a formal, comprehensive model for service abstraction and service construction – a framework and a generic virtualization model that offers a simplified common treatment of CI resources across all classes and services, in a scalable and secure architecture.
