“…This research has generally focused on SLA specification and definition languages and SLA creation, operation, monitoring and termination. Web Service Level Agreement (WSLA) [16] and Web Service Offerings Language (WSOL) [18] are two approaches which propose the SLA representation. WS-Agreement is a specification of the Global Grid Forum (GGF) [19] which specifies the agreement structure, a negotiation protocol and a monitoring interface.…”

Kowalczyk, R. (2006). A coordinated architecture for the agent-based service level agreement negotiation of web service composition. Australian Software Engineering . USA: IEEE.A coordinated architecture for the agent-based service level agreement negotiation of web service composition AbstractRecent progress in the field of Web services has made it possible to integrate inter-organizational and heterogeneous services on the Web at runtime. If a user request cannot be satisfied by a single Web service, it is (or should be) possible to combine existing services in order to fulfill the request. However, there are several challenging issues that need to be addressed before this can be realized in the true sense. One of them is the ability to ensure end-to-end QoS of a Web service composition. There is a need for a SLA negotiation system which can ensure the autonomous QoS negotiation of Web service compositions irrespective of the application domain. In this paper we propose agent-based coordinated-negotiation architecture to ensure collective functionality, end-to-end QoS and the stateful coordination of complex services. We describe a prototype implementation to demonstrate how this architecture can be used in different application domains. We have also demonstrated how the negotiation system on the service provider's side can be implemented both as an agent based negotiation system and as a Web service based negotiation system.

“…The negotiation process for e-contract establishment which involves Web services, is one of the challenges that have been strongly discussed in literature [5]. Prior to the service invocation, both service provider and service consumers need to negotiate to achieve a mutual agreement [6]. However, according to Giambiagi et al, [5], the Web service model as well as its specification stack, do not widely support the concept of contracts.…”

The web service technology allows organizations to interact through business processes. However, organizations involved in cooperative business processes have different interests and points of view. A negotiation allows them to discuss their interests and requirements in order to reach an acceptable agreement. We propose an integrated web service negotiation process that takes into account human interaction and the use of different negotiation protocols. It focuses on the application of feature modelling to describe the negotiated services. Our contributions include: (i) the definition of a negotiation process; (ii) the definition of a conceptual model to support the negotiation of web services; (iii) reuse of artefacts generated throughout the negotiation process; (iv) coverage of critical elements in the negotiation of electronic contracts, such as role, properties of electronic services and contract models; and (v) exploration of the process in different application scenarios.

“…Hung et al, [26] define a Web service as "an autonomous unit of application logic that provides either some business functionality or information to other applications through an Internet connection" (p. 1-2). The Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) paradigm extends this concept to 'the set of concepts, principles, and methods that represent computing in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) in which software applications are constructed based on independent component services with standard interfaces' [27].…”

-There is a need to address the significant gap in our ability to measure and monitor the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across service networks. The unprecedented growth in service-based business processes over a short period of time has underscored the need for understanding the mechanisms and theorising the business models and business process management adopted across many organisations today. This research presents a survey of the literature and argues that the inability of current Business Process Management (BPM) techniques to visualise and monitor web-enabled business processes prevents us from transforming information on network activity and infrastructures. This inhibits managers in anticipating change and adapting to more agile business practices in service science. Thus, this research-in-progress sets out to propose the need to develop a framework to enhance a manager's ability to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) while improving business process restructuring practices through social network analysis (SNA).
