Integrated Management Framework for Dynamic Virtual Organisations

Abstract

This thesis describes an Service Level Agreement based model for dynamic virtual organisations and a corresponding management framework for service providers making them able to fullfill such SLAs. The proposed framework is realised as a hierachical model starting from low level management close the hardware and network primitives necessary to realise the services up to the business relationship management layer. The concept is instantiated for the scenario of a High Performance Computing service provider.
