Web Services Agreement-Based Resource Negotiation in UNICORE

Overview Service Level Agreements provide the foundation to negotiate for a distinct Quality of Service level between the provider and the consumer of a service. Since the Grid community is adopting concepts of Service-Oriented Architectures and Web Services are capturing their space within the Grid landscape, resource management within Grids increasingly evolves towards the management of resources represented as services. To make allowance for this the Global Grid Forum develops the Web Services Agreement specification to support standardised creation and negotiation of guarantees related to services.
