SERSCIS will deliver novel technologies in system governance in the areas of dynamic resource management, automated and assisted governance and SLAs for dependability commitments. These areas of contribution correspond to the following three major components of the system governance prototype:
Resource Manager
- New capacity models that allow service providers to pursue dynamic provisioning strategies
- Semantic storage and discovery of resources that allow workflows matching dependability requirements to be composed from a pool of available resources
Service Manager
- Balance the level of commitments with the available resources and operate a flexible management strategy in the response to failure or under-performance in resources
- Variable level of autonomy between automated and assisted management through policy-based management
- Round trip from service monitoring to a risk management process and back to service management
SLA Manager
- Service Level Agreement represents a resource and is the root of trust
- Dynamically manage trust across domains
These innovations allow a level of inter-enterprise collaboration that is not currently possible with any guarantee of end-to-end dependability. This collaboration will be demonstrated in the proof of concept phase through application to an Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) case study.
