“…To name a few of them, the works by [18,40] addressed the issues related to the negotiation protocols. In particular, [40] proposed a negotiation protocol based on the contract law to compliment WS-Agreement. Meanwhile, [18] proposed an extension to WS-Agreement to enable the integration of multiple negotiation protocols between participating parties.…”

Service level agreement (SLA) plays an important role in realizing service-oriented application. With SLA negotiation mechanism, both parties namely the requester and the provider can exchange information of SLA parameters towards establishing an agreement. In this paper, we study the roles of both parties and focus on how service providers generate offers upon receiving the requests from service requesters. From the provider's perspective, the provider has to decide the right values to offer based on its current resource availability while aiming to satisfy the requester requirements (if possible). Therefore, in this paper, we propose an approach to addressing offer generation, including the architecture, the information modeling and the generation algorithm. We then provide a case study to illustrate the usefulness of the approach, followed by an analysis to justify the effectiveness of the approach.

“…However, most of the SLA negotiation frameworks available today, like, e.g., the approaches described by Chhetri et al [9], Pichot et al [26], Chhetri et al [8], Czajkowski et al [10], Parkin et al [25] or Mobach et al [22], support a single negotiation protocol only or do not offer a mechanism for distributed automated decision on what protocol to use [18], therefore lacking efficiency of the outcomes.…”

The current Web Services Agreement specification draft proposes a simple requestresponse protocol for agreement creation only addressing bilateral offer exchanges. This paper proposes a framework augmenting this WSAgreement to enable negotiations according to a variety of bilateral and multilateral negotiation protocols. The framework design is based on a thorough analysis of taxonomies for negotiations from the literature in order to allow for capturing a variety of different negotiation models within a single, WS-Agreement compatible, framework. In order to provide for the intended flexibility, the proposed protocol takes a two-stage approach: a meta-protocol is conducted among interested parties to agree on a common negotiation protocol first before the real negotiation is carried out in the second step due to the protocol established in the first step.

“…In addition, Grefen et al, [1] claims that Web services also does not widely support negotiation. Even though several languages have been used to enable negotiation and contract establishment, such as ebXML, WS-Agreement and WSLA [5], those languages do not support more sophisticated negotiations [7], such as that involving different negotiation protocols, or non-technical Quality of Service (QoS) attributes.…”

The web service technology allows organizations to interact through business processes. However, organizations involved in cooperative business processes have different interests and points of view. A negotiation allows them to discuss their interests and requirements in order to reach an acceptable agreement. We propose an integrated web service negotiation process that takes into account human interaction and the use of different negotiation protocols. It focuses on the application of feature modelling to describe the negotiated services. Our contributions include: (i) the definition of a negotiation process; (ii) the definition of a conceptual model to support the negotiation of web services; (iii) reuse of artefacts generated throughout the negotiation process; (iv) coverage of critical elements in the negotiation of electronic contracts, such as role, properties of electronic services and contract models; and (v) exploration of the process in different application scenarios.
