Abstract

Nowadays, novel computing paradigms as for example Grid or Cloud Computing are gaining more and more on importance. In case of Cloud Computing users pay for the usage of the computing power provided as a service. Beforehand they can negotiate specific functional and non-functional requirements relevant for the application execution. However, providing computing power as a service bears different research challenges. On the one hand dynamic, versatile, and adaptable services are required, which can cope with system failures and environmental changes. On the other hand, human interaction with the system should be minimized. In this paper we present the first results in establishing adaptable, versatile, and dynamic services considering negotiation bootstrapping and service mediation achieved in context of the Foundations of Self-Governing ICT Infrastructures (FoSII) project. We discuss novel meta-negotiation and SLA mapping solutions for Grid/Cloud services bridging the gap between current QoS models and Grid/Cloud middleware and representing important prerequisites for the establishment of autonomic Grid/Cloud services. We present document models for the specification of meta-negotiations and SLA mappings. Thereafter, we discuss the sample architecture for the management of meta-negotiations and SLA mappings.
