Brief description

The SLA4D-Grid Project is designing and realizing a Service Level Agreement layer for the Germany's national Grid infrastructure D-Grid. The Service Level Agreement layer offers individual users, whole D-Grid communities, and the providers of D-Grid resources service usage under given guarantees, quality-of-service requirements and pre-defined business conditions. For this purpose, service level requests and the corresponding offers are linked by binding Service Level Agreements. By means of the SLA layer and with the assistance of other D-Grid services, such as monitoring and accounting, SLAs can be automatically created, negotiated and their observance monitored, so that the D-Grid can be used by academic and industrial users in an economically efficient manner, in accordance with their respective business models.
