Abstract

We propose a framework for service level negotiation within s elf-management systems. The negotiation process occurs between high-level autonomic managers to guarantee an end-to-end service level for specific application traffic flows. In the proposed framework, we provide autonomic systems with a new interaction opportunity thanks to the negotiation with their peers. To be in conformance with the concepts of self-aware management systems, the proposed negotiation protocol called SLNP is used in a Web Services environment.

Résumé

Nous proposons un schéma pour la négociation du niveau de service dans le cadre d’une gestion autonome des systèmes. La procédure de négociation se déroule entre des gestionnaires autonomes de haut niveau afin de garantir un niveau de service de bout en bout pour un trafic donné. Dans le schéma proposé, une nouvelle opportunité s’offre aux systèmes autonomes grâce à la possibilité de négociation des gestionnaires autonomes de haut niveau avec leurs homologues. Dans un souci de conformité avec les concepts de la gestion autonome, le protocole de négociation SLNP, que nous spécifions, est utilisé dans un environnement standardisé de technologies de Services Web.
