Service Level Terms – Monday 4:00-5:30

At the last OGSA F2F we discussed the need to address QoS/SLA’s in OGSA. The first step is to define what is meant, to determine use cases, and therefore requirements. It was noted that just defining terms is difficult and very domain specific and that solving the general problem, for all classes of service, is an open question. We therefore decided to begin with a short session focused on two specific OGSA services: ByteIO and BES. In this session we will introduce the problem, discuss the roles of WS-Agreement and JSDL, and define prototype (strawman) definitions of SLT’s for both services.

Proposed Agenda:

            Agenda bashing

            Present problem

            Present examples for ByteIO and BES

            Discuss role of WS-Agreement and JSDL

            Next steps and action items
