XML for SLAs. I've made some progress in my efforts to find out what's being done to automate service-level agreements for web services. First, I received email from Winston Bumpus at Novell who chairs the OASIS Management Protocol Technical Committee. He pointed out that work on SLAs is going on in the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) around defining standards for an SLA information model in the Policy Working Group.
Yesterday IBM, Microsoft, and BEA released version 1.0 of WS-Policy, the Web Services Policy Framework, in addition to other new specifications. WS-Policy, if adopted, would be an obvious candidate as a framework for SLAs that could be expressed and automatically negotiated at runtume.
