Service Level Agreement (SLA)-oriented Resource Allocation for Data Centers and Cloud Computing Systems

在接下来的20年里，面向服务的计算将在塑造行业以及业务开展和服务交付和管理方式方面发挥重要作用。这种模式将对服务经济产生重大影响，服务经济对澳大利亚的GDP贡献巨大。服务部门，包括卫生、金融和政府服务，涉及客户和提供者之间的重要互动。随着对信息通信技术的依赖日益增加，在服务驱动的资源分配到竞争应用方面需要取得重大进展。本项目开发基于服务水平协议（SLA）的数据中心/云计算系统资源分配到应用程序的技术。

In the next 20 years, service-oriented computing will play an important role in shaping the industry and the way business is conducted and services are delivered and managed. This paradigm will have major impact on service economy, which contributes significantly towards Australia's GDP. The service sector, which includes health, financial, and government services, involves significant interaction between clients and providers. With increasing dependency on ICT technologies in their realization, major advances are required in service-driven allocation of resources to competing applications. This project develops technologies for Service Level Agreement (SLA)-based allocation of Data Center/Cloud computing system resources to applications.
