“…For instance, SLA negotiation specifications such as WS-Agreements [1] and WSLA [10] specify how services can be negotiated, how to described the Quality of Service (QoS) and provides guidelines for monitoring and auditing service behaviors. Moreover, other approaches address further specific aspects of SLA management such as appliance on resource management [6], SLA enforcement [8] and an integrated SLA management [15]. Nevertheless, in [11], the author proposes a hierarchical SLA management which enforces SLA on top of distinct adaptation policies.…”

“…Such work does not address how basic, atomic services guarantee QoS properties, which invariably requires managing the underlying distributed infrastructure, and is the focus of this paper. A significant amount of work has focused on SLA management for large-scale distributed applications, such as e-science applications deployed on grids, or multi-tier enterprise applications deployed on clusters [6], [2], [8]. However, such work does not address meeting the business objectives of service providers, such as maximizing profit.…”

Abstract-A main challenge for service providers is managing service-level agreements (SLAs) with their customers while satisfying their business objectives, such as maximizing profits. Most current systems fail to consider business objectives and thus to provide a complete SLA management solution. This work proposes an SLA-driven management solution that aims to maximize the provider's profit by reducing resource costs as well as fines owning to SLA violations. Specifically, this work proposes a framework that comprises multiple, configurable control loops and supports automatically adjusting service configurations and resource usage in order to maintain SLAs in the most costeffective way. The framework targets services implemented on top of large-scale distributed infrastructures, such as clouds. Experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness in maintaining SLAs while reducing provider costs.

“…The main purpose of the SERSCIS framework is to support the use of the SLA in consumer interactions with a service, including the introduction of service offers and SLA creation, and to facilitate coupling between consumer interactions, service management and resource management, keeping them all consistent with the dependability commitments made in the SLA (Hovestadt, 2006;Hasselmeyer et al, 2006). The loose couplings represented by dashed arrows in Fig.…”

The SERSCIS approach aims to support the use of interconnected systems of services in Critical Infrastructure (CI) applications. The problem of system interconnectedness is aptly demonstrated by 'Airport Collaborative Decision Making' (A-CDM). Failure or underperformance of any of the interlinked ICT systems may compromise the ability of airports to plan their use of resources to sustain high levels of air traffic, or to provide accurate aircraft movement forecasts to the wider European air traffic management systems. The proposed solution is to introduce further SERSCIS ICT components to manage dependability and interdependency. These use semantic models of the critical infrastructure, including its ICT services, to identify faults and potential risks and to increase human awareness of them. Semantics allow information and services to be described in a way that makes them understandable to computers. Thus when a failure (or a threat of it) is detected, SERSCIS components can take action to manage the consequences, including changing the interdependency relationships between services. In some cases, the components will be able to take action autonomously, e.g., to manage 'local' issues such as the allocation of CPU time to maintain service performance, or the selection of services where there are redundant sources available. In other cases the components will alert human operators so they can take action instead. The goal of this paper is to describe a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that can be used to address the management of ICT components and interdependencies in critical infrastructure systems.

Abstract-The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) leverages the service abstraction to enable the development of modular, loose-coupled and distributed applications. In order to use such an architecture, service-based applications directly rely on services or compose them for conceiving new functionalities. In spite of these capabilities, they do not support the development of services which need high-performance computing. Grid computing offers an infrastructure for high-performance computing which is based on the sharing of distributed, lowcost and heterogeneous resources in large-scale. Thus, grids can be used to satisfy these high-performance service requirements. This work aims at easing the development of grid-oriented services. The iPOJO service-component model is used to propose an architecture that automatically manages job submission for services. This architecture is based on Dynaco (Adaptation for Components) and the XtreemOS grid operating system.
