Modelling Service Level AgreementsApril 13th, 2015
Abstract. Many proposals to model service level agreements (SLAs) have been elaborated in order to automate different stages of the service lifecycle such as monitoring, implementation or deployment. All of them have been designed for computational services and are not well–suited for other types of services such as business process outsourcing (BPO) services. However, BPO services supported by process–aware informa- tion systems could also benefit from modelling SLAs in tasks such as performance monitoring, human resource assignment or process config- uration. In this paper, we identify the requirements for modelling such SLAs and detail how they can be faced by combining techniques used to model computational SLAs, business processes, and process performance indicators. Furthermore, our approach has been validated through the modelling of several real BPO SLAs.
