Abstract:
The lack of security and the inexistence of Quality of Service tracking mechanisms limit the success of cloud computing as a new technology, even if it demonstrates great capabilities of solving a number of problems that almost all organizations suffer from. This paper presents a novel way of expressing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and tracking them to assure the client about the security and Quality of Service that are provided by the Cloud Service Provider. Allowing the client to combine specific security and Quality of Service metrics with context information within SLAs, when they are expressed as software policies, increases tremendously their expressiveness and precision.
