Elasticity in Service Level Agreements
2013 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 2013Elasticity has been identified as one of the key features of delivering IT services over the internet. Major definitions of cloud computing consider elasticity as an essential property of cloud services, and as one of the main reasons to use cloud infrastructures.

Aggregation patterns of service level agreements
Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Frontiers of Information Technology, 2010{IT-based} {ServiceMarkets} requires an enabling infrastructure to support Service Value Chains and service choreographies resulting from service composition scenarios. This will result into novel business models where services compose together hierarchically in a producer-consumer manner to form ser- vice supply-chains of added value.

Ensuring Service Level Agreements for Service Workflows
2008 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing, 2008Specifying and monitoring service level agreements (SLA) has been the subject of intensive research. However, methods of enforcing SLA have not addressed the specific issues of composite services (CS). Our work focuses on the problem of keeping prearranged SLAs for service workflows including workflows supporting long lived transactions (e.g.

Design of service level agreements for software services
Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies and Workshop for PhD Students in Computing, 2009During last years, Quality of Service (QoS) aspects in service-based applications tend to be more and more challenging issues. The paper is focused on various aspects of QoS contracts and especially on these being parts of Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

On the stability of adaptive Service Level Agreements
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, 2006We consider some implications of non-linear feedback, due to policy combinatorics, on policy-based management of networked services. We pay special attention to the case where the monitoring of certain aspects of Service Level Agreements is used to alter future policy dynamically, according to a control feedback scheme. Using two simple models, we show
