Hello GRAAP group, Within the EU BeinGrid project (beingrid.eu), we've been developing an SLA framework for GT4. It is based on a component architecture (by this, understand independent modules). I have some material that describes it that I could pass to the community, including a paper (attached). Implementation of the different components is finished (nearly all components are licensed as Apache V2, only one is freeware binary), and we're currently making sure it all integrates smoothly. I think it should be advertised to the OGF community (at least the guys and girls interested in GT4). I also propose that from the work done, we could try to standardize the SLA frameworks that exist for Grids (GRIA, GRASP, Unicore, and now GT4); btw our framework is based on the March 2007 WS-Agreement specification of the OGF, which describes SLA contracts (www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.107.pdf), but is meant to be generic (different SLA formats can be plugged in) . What would be the way forward? Who should I get in touch with?
