Abstract :
This paper reports innovative research aiming at supporting autonomous establishment and maintenance of service level agreements in order to guarantee end-to-end quality of service requirements for service composition provision. In this research, a set of interrelated service level agreements is established and maintained for a service composition, through autonomous agent negotiation. To enable this, an innovative framework is proposed in which agents on behalf of the service requestor and the service providers can negotiate service level agreements in a coordinated way. This framework also enables adaptive service level agreement re-negotiation in the dynamic and ever-changing service environment
