Web Service Agreement Specification Sample Clauses

Web Service Agreement Specification. (WS-Agreement) ñ (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2005). The Global Grid Forum (GGF) published the Web Service Agreement specification (WS-Agreement), which is an XML variant for specifying an agreement between a service provider and a consumer, and a protocol for creation of an agreement using agreement templates. The objective of the WS-Agreement draft specification is to provide an organization independent and standard way to establish and monitor SLAs. Another objective of WS-Agreement is that it should be interoperable with other negotiation protocols. The specification comprises three major elements: (i) a description format for agreement templates and agreements, (ii) a basic protocol for establishing agreements, and (iii) an interface specification to monitor agreements at runtime (Wieder et al., 2006). In the WS-Agreement specification, an agreement between a service consumer and a service provider specifies one or more Service Level Objectives (SLOs) which state the requirements and capabilities of each party on the availability of resources and service qualities. For example, an agreement may provide assurances on the bounds of service response time, service availability, or service reliability. WS-Agreement also specifies a very simple negotiation protocol. More of a ìtake it or leave itî protocol, that does not allow offer refinement (see Figure 3.8 for the Interaction Model). This is a very limited interaction model as a result it limits consumer expressiveness immensely. WS-Agreement defines three types of documents: Agreement templates, Offer and Agreement. A service provider publishes an agreement template for the services provided. The template may contain service characteristics, guarantees, as well as creating constraints, which would specify the desirable range of some values. A consumer would retrieve and xxxxx in the template.î The filled template is sent as an offer to the provider. The provider checks the offer against the template to make sure that there is compliance and decides whether to accept or reject depending on his capacity.
