Service level agreement (SLA) assurance for cloud services

Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing & Multimedia - MoMM '12, 2012
Cloud computing is a new paradigm for service-based computing and is gaining popularity. An efficient way for the assurances of the expected service levels in cloud computing is to establish a tailor-made Service Level Agreement (SLA) and to ensure the commitment of SLAs by service providers.

Service Level Agreement(SLA) Based SaaS Cloud Management System

2015 IEEE 21st International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems (ICPADS), 2015
Cloud computing has emerged as a new computing paradigm which has revolutionized the IT industry. It has particularly transformed the licensing of software products which are now being offered as a Service on pay-as-you-go basis. This has tremendously increased the complexity for software providers as they now have to not only manage their resources on

Ensuring Cloud Service Guarantees via Service Level Agreement (SLA)-Based Resource Allocation

2015 IEEE 35th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems Workshops, 2015
This paper studies the problem of resource management and placement for high performance clouds. It is concerned with the three most important performance metrics: response time, throughput, and utilization as Quality of Service (QoS) metrics defined in a Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Slicing Framework for Service Level Agreement Guarantee in Heterogeneous Networks—A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach

IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2022
In 5G scenarios, network slicing and multi-tier heterogeneous networks are critical to guarantee the service level agreement (SLA) of various services. In this letter, a dynamic radio resource slicing framework considering joint bandwidth slicing ratios ...

Stochastic Wind Energy Management Model within smart grid framework: A joint Bi-directional Service Level Agreement (SLA) between smart grid and Wind Energy District Prosumers

Renewable Energy, 2019
The evolvement of prosumers (energy producing consumers) in Smart Grid (SG) ensures reliable and efficient bi-directional power-flow. However, the prosumers interactions and interfacing within the SG system requires a bi-directional Energy Management ...

From Service Level Agreements (SLA) to Experience Level Agreements (ELA): The challenges of selling QoE to the user

2015 IEEE International Conference on Communication Workshop (ICCW), 2015
In contrast to the rather network-centric notion of Quality of Service (QoS), the concept of Quality of Experience (QoE) has a strongly user-centric perspective on service quality in communication networks as well as online services. However, related research on QoE so far has largely neglected the question of how to operationalize quality ...

O-RAN-Enabled Intelligent Network Slicing to Meet Service-Level Agreement (SLA)

IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing
Network slicing plays a critical role in enabling multiple virtualized and independent network services to be created on top of a common physical network infrastructure. In this paper, we introduce a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based radio resource
