Abstract. Federated computing environments offer requestors the ability to dynamically invoke services offered by collaborating providers in the virtual service network. Without an efficient resource management that includes Dynamic SLA Negotiation, however, the assignment of providers to customer's requests cannot be optimized and cannot offer high reliability without relevant SLA guarantees. We propose a new SLA-based SERViceable Metacomputing Environment (SERVME) capable of matching providers based on QoS requirements and performing autonomic provisioning and deprovisioning of services according to dynamic requestor needs. This paper presents the SLA negotiation process that includes ondemand provisioning and uses an object-oriented SLA model for large-scale serviceoriented systems supported by SERVME. An initial reference implementation in the SORCER environment is also described.
More recently, the SLA-based SERViceable Metacomputing Environment (SERVME) was proposed REF .
