Empowering the Service Economy with SLA-aware Infrastructures
Project description
SLA@SOI is researching the systematic management of service-oriented economy likely to replace the whole product-oriented economy in short time. These service-oriented infrastructures are based on formally specified service level agreements (SLAs). SLA is the formalisation of a negotiated agreement between two parties. It is a written contract between customers and providers that fixes the parties' expectations concerning the quality of the services defined by the availability, performance or other attributes of them.
SLA@SOI: a major evolution Milestone
The project is a major milestone for further evolution of a service-oriented economy and the conveyance of IT-supported service provisioning which is currently of major relevance in all industries and domains. IT-based services can be flexibly traded as economic goods, i.e. under well-defined and dependable conditions and with clearly associated costs. This will allow for dynamic value networks that can be realised flexibly and thus, drive innovation and competitiveness.
SLA@SOI will provide three major benefits as regards the provisioning of services:
* Predictability and dependability
* Transparent SLA management
* In-depth guidance for industrial stakeholders
* Open reference case which allows for stakeholders to return, revalidate and modify SLA experiments.
* Automation
Business Benefits:
All the main stakeholders in a service-oriented economy will benefit from the project results:
* Software providers
* Service providers
* Service aggregators
* Service customers
Main innovative features of the project:
* An automated e-contracting framework
* Systematic grounding of SLAs from the business level down to the infrastructure
* Exploitation of virtualisation technologies at infrastructure level for SLA enforcement
* Advanced engineering methodologies for creation of predictable and manageable services.
