Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are powerful instruments for describing all obligations and expectations in a business relationship. It is of focal importance for deploying Grid technology to commercial applications. The EC-funded project HPC4U (Highly Predictable Clusters for Internet Grids) aimed at introducing SLA-awareness in local resource management systems, while the EC-funded project AssessGrid introduced the notion of risk, which is associated with every business contract. This paper highlights the concept of planning based resource management and describes the SLA-aware scheduler developed and used in these projects.
