Web services on demand: WSLA-driven automated management
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a framework for providing customers of Web services differentiated levels of service through the use of automated management and service level agreements (SLAs). The framework comprises the Web Service Level Agreement (WSLA) language, designed to specify SLAs in a flexible and individualized way, a system to provision resources based on service level objectives, a workload management system that prioritizes requests according to the associated SLAs, and a system to monitor compliance with the SLA. This framework was implemented as the utility computing services part of the IBM Emerging Technologies Tool Kit, which is publicly available on the IBM alphaWorksTM Web site.

COMPUTING SCIENCE Predicting Compliance of WSLA Contracts Using Automated Model Creation
Service level agreements (SLAs) are designed to be monitorable contracts between a provider and consumer of a service. It is of interest to determine if such SLAs can also be used as input to a predictive model, e.g., a discrete-event stochastic model. For that purpose we study in this paper WSLA, the web service level agreement language, an SLA specification language tailored to web services. ...
متن کاملFormal Mapping of WSLA Contracts on Stochastic Models
SLA (service level agreement) specification languages are designed to express monitorable contracts between a provider and a consumer of a service. It is of interest to determine if one can derive predictive models, e.g., a discreteevent stochastic model, for SLAs expressed in such a language, if possible in automated fashion. For this purpose, we study in this paper the mapping of the Web Serv...
متن کاملCompatibility Analysis of WSLA Service Level Objectives
In On Demand Service environments, both a client and a service provider need to make sure of their common agreements on the quality of service (QoS), i.e., performance, reliability and availability, prior to accessing a managed service. This is due to the fact that varied and customized requests of individual clients may not always match the QoS supported by an autonomous service. To mitigate s...

Fueled by the growing acceptance of the Web Services Architecture, an emerging trend in application service delivery is to move away from tightly coupled systems towards structures of loosely coupled, dynamically bound systems to support both long and short business relationships. It appears highly likely that the next generation of e-Business systems will consist of an interconnection of servi...
