Abstract. In this work we propose GXLA, a language for the specification of Service Level Agreements (SLA). GXLA represents the implementation of the Generalized Service Level Agreement (GSLA) information model we proposed in a previous work. It supports multi-party service relationships through a role-based mechanism. It is intended to catch up the complex nature of service interactivity in the broader range of SLA modeling of all sorts of IT business relationships. GXLA is defined as an XML schema which provides a common ground between the entities in order to automate the configuration. GXLA can be used by service providers, service customers, and third parties in order to configure their respective IT systems. Each party can use its own independent SLA interpretation and deployment technique to enforce the role it has to play in the contract. An illustrative VoIP service negotiation shows how GXLA is used for automating the process of SLA negotiation and deployment.

Policies have been adopted for many reasons within web services and Service-oriented Architecture in general. However, while they are a favoured method of management, this only occurs at the service level and in the software domain. Policies already exist in a narrow variety more focussed on service properties such as authorisation. Business metrics are often overlooked when selecting a service to satisfy a need and these are often different to metrics used by the standard software engineer. As a significant number of web services become available, more emphasis needs to be placed on management of services in the business domain. The web service protocol stack provides only a hint of business management techniques on top of any orchestration or composition mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a policy framework that can be used to express business requirements for web services, at a business level that is more abstract than the current high-level composition and orchestration technologies.
