Abstract
A conventional service providing method involves such disadvantages that provision of efficient services cannot be assured in respect of a client, who was connected with a front-end, and that a cost for developing a server is very expensive, besides a cost for administering the service is expensive. In order to eliminate such disadvantages as described above, an on-demand service expanding system provided with at least one service broker, and at least one broker controller, comprises the service broker being provided with a means for selecting a front-end that matches with a demand of service transmitted from a client and a front-end connected with the client to transmit contents of the demand of services with respect to the front-end; and the broker controller being provided with a means for controlling the front-end selected so as to connect the same with the server, and a means for controlling the server and the front-end thus connected as well as the service broker for a period of time during provision of the service.
