Design of a Model-Based SLA Management Service and Its Applications over Distributed SOA Environments - Grid Computing: Infrastructure, Service, and Applications - page 268

specii cations of the requirements and responsibilities of different parties
need to be included in the SLA. It would be interesting to extend the cur-
rent SLA management model for the multiparty negotiation over distrib-
uted environments.
Acknowledgments
The authors would like to thank those who participated in the design and
implementation of the SLA-based service and/or the SSP platform: Sharad
Singhal, John Wilkes, Akhil Sahai, Jim Prym, Andre Lopes, Karin Becker,
Rully Adrian Santosa, Yong Siang Foo, Lester Leong, Elaine Wong, Chen
Yuan, Pranavi Reddy, and many others. They also thank Sharad Singhal,
Terence Hung, John Wilkes, Dejan Milojicic, and Hoong Maeng Chan for
the pleasant discussions and the insightful comments on improving the
quality of the chapter. The work is co-sponsored by the Singapore A-star
Research Organization and HP labs.
