Grid Service Level Agreements Combining Resource Reservation and Predictive Run-time Adaptation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resource reservation and performance prediction of execution run-times are key components in delivering timely application services for decision support systems. The provision of Service Level Agreements (SLA) and components to manage tasks such as resource negotiation, monitoring and policing are needed to help meet this requirement. This paper presents an SLA management architecture for use in Grid environments focusing on resource negotiation, monitoring and policing strategies for Grid application services. Included are methods for resource negotiation and generating execution run-time predictions for tracking application progress. Experiments to test the prediction model are presented and compared with a reference execution schedule.

Predictive Adaptation for Service Level Agreements on the Grid
Users of Grid systems often need to attach Quality of Service (QoS) information such as time or performance constraints to guarantee timely execution of their application. Grid resources have varying quality and reliability and can easily be swamped by competing applications. If this coincides with the users execution their results may be delayed. In support of this we propose a Service Level A...
متن کاملA Negotiation Mechanism for Advance Resource Reservation using the Alternate Offers Protocol
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between grid users and providers have been proposed as mechanisms for ensuring that the users’ Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are met, and that the provider is able to realise utility from its infrastructure. This paper presents a bilateral protocol for SLA negotiation using the Alternate Offers mechanism wherein a party is able to respond to an offer by m...
متن کاملQ-GSM: A QoS Oriented Grid Service Management Framework
Effective and efficient Quality of Service (QoS) management is critical for a service grid to meet the requirements of both grid users and service providers. We introduce a scalable framework of service management in grid environment to guarantee the QoS of grid services. Several characters of our framework are 1) grid level resource reservation mechanism to use existing heterogeneous resource ...
متن کاملG-QoSM: Grid Service Discovery Using QoS Properties
We extend the service abstraction in the Open Grid Services Architecture[12] for Quality of Service (QoS) properties. The realization of QoS often requires mechanisms such as advance or on-demand reservation of resources, varying in type and implementation, and independently controlled and monitored. Foster et al. propose the GARA [10] architecture. The GARA library provides a restricted repres...
متن کاملA Novel SLA based Task Scheduling in Grid Environment
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are used in different domains and on different levels to establish agreements on Quality of Service (QoS) between a service provider and a customer. SLAs can be based on general agreements like framework agreements. In a grid environment SLA can be technical agreements which deal with properties of services and resources. Research and development in grid computin...
