A Multi-Party Approach to SLA Modeling: Application to WLANs

PublisherLaboratorie d'Informatique de Paris 6

This paper proposes a service-driven model for structuring WLANs into overlay networks of interacting Wireless Management Communities. A Wireless Management Community (WMC) is composed of a set of Parties and is governed by a charter named the WMC-SLA (Service Level Agreement). A WMC constitutes the basic unit of management upon which will be installed any form of service interaction between parties belonging to the wireless community. The WMC-SLA model is presented as a use case of a more general SLA model name as GSLA. The GSLA is an SLA information model that supports multi-party service relationships through a role-based mechanism. It intends to bring a step towards SLA-driven management within pervasive service environments.
