Abstract

This paper considers extensions to the WS-Agreement specification, namely the Guarantee Terms of WS-Agreement [1]. Experiences and conclusions drawn are in the context of Agreement-based job management systems. A key idea of these extensions is the use of functions for the Guarantee Terms of the Agreement rather than constant values or ranges. Functions may contain variables defined in a particular agreement or be drawn from the known set of reference variables, such as wall-clock time, job start time, etc. We show that such an approach can potentially reduce the negotiation overheads associated with job renegotiation and/or reduce the number of failed agreements.

Enabling service-level agreement renegotiation through extending WS-Agreement specification

WS-Agreement is a language and protocol designed for creating service-level agreements (SLAs) based on initial offers, and for monitoring those offers at runtime. The definition of WS-Agreement protocol is very general and does not contemplate the ...
Explaining the Non-compliance between Templates and Agreement Offers in WS-Agreement
ICSOC-ServiceWave '09: Proceedings of the 7th International Joint Conference on Service-Oriented Computing

A common approach to the process of reaching agreements is the publication of templates that guide parties to create agreement offers that are then sent for approval to the template publisher. In such scenario, a common issue the template publisher must ...

Middleware for Grid Computing: A “Possible Future”

The aim of this paper is to argue for the benefits of increased expressiveness in service level agreements (SLAs). Such benefits may be obtained from the use of analytical expressions to specify a SLA's agreement terms as functions and not as variable or ...
