PROPOSAL AT A GLANCE
Proposal name:
Trusted Service Oriented Computing
Subject:
Efficient service provisioning in service oriented environments employing trust and reputation mechanisms in Service Level Agreements (SLA) and SLA negotiations.
In current Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) SLAs represent a common approach to specify service quality aspects. Electronic Trust and Reputation mechanisms provide such infrastructures with a means to not only improve security and reliability in open systems but also to increase the efficiency of the service provisioning/resource allocation processes as applied heavily in inter-enterprise scenarios.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposal Outline:
The aim of this project should be combining two emergent research areas in Computer Science: Service Level Agreements (SLA) and reputation-based service allocation. This effort should in a first step identify the phases within a service provisioning process requiring SLA and reputation concepts and how those could be applied. Also the overall system infrastructure could have an impact on this (for example markets would demand other mechanisms in service provisioning than hierarchical infrastructures).
Additionally the corresponding (reputation-enhanced negotiation) protocols should be developed and finally implemented in a research prototype. Based on this prototype the benefits of reputation mechanisms on SLA based service infrastructures can be investigated. Another way to approach such efficiency results could be a scenario simulator analogous to current Grid simulators.
