Track : Monitoring and Quality of Service

Title : Infrastructure Services from a Business Perspective

Date : Saturday, December 23, 2008

Infrastructure Services have become increasingly important for the development of Business Grids. Business Grids are expected to allow companies to offer or outsource their infrastructure in a dynamic, automated and reliable manner. In a service-based economy new business opportunities for both Service Providers and Service Consumers will be created, judging from the success of Compute and Storage Clouds. Such environments require improved techniques in the way Service Level Agreements between providers and consumers are formulated, exchanged, negotiated, managed and monitored.

This workshop aims to gather industry experts and academics to discuss innovative ideas and key challenges related to the use of Service Level Agreement related technologies and their impact on the development and provisioning of Infrastructure Services in a business-driven environment.

The workshop will start with invited talks and will continue with presentations from the three projects supporting the workshop, BREIN, SLA@SOI, and RESERVOIR. Following the presentations, organisers and audience will discuss in panel how the three projects can share synergies in order to address research challenges raised during the workshop and assist the community at-large.

The detailed program of the workshop is the following:

14:00 Welcome Ioannis Kotsiopoulos
14:05 SLAs and Legal Issues Davide Parrilli
14:50 SLA Brokering James Padget
15:20 BREIN Bastian Koller
