A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a business operations concept that is sometimes inappropriately applied to engineering development. When an SLA is not converted to engineering requirements, development occurs blindly, and testing is probably done against some of the values specified in the SLA. The result is higher risk and higher cost. This paper illustrates some fundamental aspects of the ...

This study is to examine if typological universals built upon primary languages are applicable to interlanguage data in SLA. Implicational universal is considered the classic example of a typological universal by Croft (2003). Thus, the Interlanguage Structural Conformity Hypothesis, which consists of two implicational universals proposed by Eckman (1991), were tested against data from an inter...

We propose a management+ system that uses gr id and traditional management technologies to achieve that. A management+ system will be comprised of grid nodes that communic...

Service level agreement (SLA) is a powerful tool to formalize the negotiation and agreement between the service provider and service seeker with the scope of service quality characteristics, compensations and tariffs. The service quality description is the main part of a SLA which can be characterized by the use of suitable and feasible quality of service (QoS) parameters. Determining suitable ...

While a lot of work has been done on the problem of the automated generation of plans that compose web services, the problem of monitoring their execution has still to be investigated. However, the run-time monitoring of web service executions is a compelling requirement, since it makes it possible to detect misbehaviors of external component services that are provided by third parties, and thu...
