IT outsourcing becomes one of the important shills for managing diverse and complex information systems, SIA is considered as an one of the success factors for the successful outsourcing management. Since it helps to establish common goal and provides better visibility of trends and performance, the SLA process must go beyond mere measurement to include a methodology for the ongoing management of service levels, and for the continuous improvement of service activities, functions and processes. Despite SLA is one of the most important skills for the successful outsourcing, few studies have been conducted for academic as well as practical purpose. For this reason, The objective of this study is to develop an SLA's maturity model and empirically demonstrate how SLA's maturity level affects its Performance through SLA's maturity model. The major contributions of this study are in two areas. This study contributes to academicians as well as practitioners. First, from the academic perspectives this study tries investigating the maturity level of the SLA based on empirical data. Second, practitioners can self-test their firms' maturity level using the proposed model. The results of this study show that the SLA's maturity level affected positively SLA's performance. It is founded that the SLA's maturity level had a significant impact on SLA's performance.

클라이언트와 서비스 제공자간의 서비스 수준 계약인 SLA(Service Level Agreement)를 만족시키기 위해서는 클라이언트 요청을 우선순위 클래스로 구분하여, 낮은 수준의 서비스를 요청하는 클라이언트보다는 고수준의 서비스를 요구하는 클라이언트에게 우선적으로 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 제공자의 웹 서버 노드를 우선 순위에 따라 정적.동적으로 분할하는 방법을 연구하였으며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 SLA를 고려할 수 있는 응답시간 성능을 분석하였다.

Depending on the increase amongst various cloud services, the technology of the Cloud Service Broker (CSB) to find the most appropriate services to meet the needs of cloud service consumers has emerged. In order to advance for cloud services to be used through the CSB, it is important to ensure the quality level that meets the demands of consumers through a negotiation process based on the Service Level Agreement (SLA). However, quality metrics of cloud services are different from each other based on the measurement scale, which represents the quality level, and the calculation for each type of cloud services. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the variability of the quality of cloud services and establish a SLA model for ensuring and improving the level of quality. In this paper, we analyze the quality metrics for the specific type of cloud services by applying the cross-cutting concept and propose a Virtual SLA (VSLA) meta-model.

Recently, Service Level Management(SLM) including SLA has been developing to manage the level of information systems service. Although previous SLA studies have provided the conceptual model and critical success factors, the studies have not tested the effectiveness of the SLA by way of the empirical study. In this study, we applied an innovation decision making theory to our model and tested an empirical study using of a firm survey data. We suggested a SLM model, which consists of SLA planning, application, management dimensions. We found that the SLM's management stage has an impact on performance, whereas SLM's planning and application has not. At each sub dimensional analysis, there are found that adequate SLA indicators in the application stage influences performance and change management and feedback & reporting in the management stage influence performance.

In this paper we propose a novel QoE control scheme based on Service Level Agreement (SLA) which enables to guarantee the user perceived service quality of various high-quality mobile multimedia services such as mobile video streaming and real-time network games to a certain level. For this purpose, a SLA control structure is adopted to provision QoE, and a novel resource management scheme gets coupled with this control structure. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme can decrease the average delay and increase the total throughput by adjusting SLA.

인터넷은 전세계를 연결하는 컴퓨터 망으로서 최근 기하급수적으로 그 수요가 증가하고 있다. 현재 전세계적으로 다양한 정보통신 서비스 창출과 향상된 성능을 가진 장치들의 개발 등으로 인해 과거 어느 때보다도 정보통신서비스 시장이 확대되고 있으며, 이에 따라 각 정보통신서비스 제공업자들도 기존의 가입자의 양적 확장에 치중하던 경향에서 탈피하여 보다 저렴한 고속/고품질 서비스 제공을 통하여 가입자들을 확보하기 위한 경쟁을 펼치고 있다. 정보통신서비스 제공업자들이 정보통신서비스 시장에서 다른 경쟁업체에 비하여 우위를 차지하고 보다 높은 수익창출을 위한 중요한 관건은 바로 정보통신서비스 이용자들에게 제공되는 통신 서비스의 품질 보장이다. 이를 위해서는 현재 사업자들이 사용자들에게 제공하는 통신서비스 품질 보장은 기존의 단순한 서비스 품질 보장 차원의 수준을 넘어 고객에게 서비스에 대한 신뢰성, 투명성 및 객관성을 입증할 수 있어야 한다. 이에 관한 입증 방법을 체계화한 것이 서비스 수준 규약(Service Level Agreement : SLA)이다 본 논문에서는 서비스 수준 규약의 개념과 SLA 표준화 동향을 소개하고, 현재 가장 보편적인 망인 IP 망에서의 표준화 동향 분석을 바탕으로 얻어진 SLA 표준 지표 모델에 대해서 제시한다.

ITSM(IT Service Management)은 2000년대 중반 이후 기업 및 공공기관에 본격적으로 적용되기 시작하였다. ITSM의 한 부분으로 IT 조직에서는 외주업체와 SLA(Service Level Agreement)을 체결하여 정보시스템 서비스의 품질을 적정수준으로 관리토록 노력하고 있다. 그러나 SAL를 적용하는 서비스 측정항목을 선택하는데 있어 측정이 비교적 용이한 서버 운영시간, 서버 성능, 서비스 가동률 등 서버운영에 주로 초점이 맞춰져 왔다. 응용시스템에 대한 서비스 요청 적기 처리율, 변경요청 적기 처리율 등에 대해서는 고객과 외주업체의 협의요소 증가, 데이터 관리 및 정확성 부족 등으로 SLA 항목에서 제외되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 응용시스템의 유지보수 관련 SLA 적용에 초점을 맞춰 서비스데스크 구축방안을 제시하였다.

To guarantee the quality of service for user request, we should consider various kinds of things. The important thing of QoS is that response time of service is transparently suggested 'to network users. We can know the response time of service using the information of network latency, system latency, and software component latency, In this paper, we carried out the modeling of network latency and analyzed the effects of packets loss to the network latency, Also, we showed the effectiveness of modeling using the NS-2. This research can help to provide the effective methods in case of SLA(Service Level Agreement) agreement between service provider and user.

In this paper, We collected location based services of the user's past moving paths through the GPS. Using the collected by location-based services through the analysis of the similarity between the user's of service level agreement recommended of mobile contact area(SLA) proposed that can be. S-RCA method based on Service Level Agreement of the users in order to provide the service user's path distance, time, and to predict the direction of the movement paths and collect. The data collected by the interests and requirements of users through classification with the same interests and the needs of users to move between the analysis of the similarity between the path is used to analyze the results of analysis of the path-specific tolerance range (distance, time, and space) is determined according to the difference in the contact area. From a small area of the error range for users first to recommended and through their smartphones recommended contact area (S-RCA) to meet with the other party to make a choice of recommended methods. We verify through experiments that proposed method(S-RCA) a valid and reliable mobile contact area were recommended.

According to increasing of accessing multimedia stream contents, Web services have become popular. However, these Web services are not supported with the same quality to Web clients who frequently access multimedia services. This paper proposes ontological technique to apply client level Quality of Service(QoS) that provides two different levels to serve Web service with proper quality by contribution value. And, it describes with UML(Unified Modeling Language) how to relate QoS and SLA(Service Level Agreement). Main contribution of this paper is to support client level QoS and SLA and to use Ontology for it. Therefore, this work uses an ontology-based approach to organize QoS and SLA, enabling semantic classification of all Web services based on domains and QoS and SLA attributes.
