Project description
Service and Software Architectures, Infrastructures and Engineering
SLA@SOI is researching the systematic management of service-oriented infrastructures on the basis of formally specified service level agreements (SLAs).
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.
