Abstract

We present a generic architecture for service management and monitoring of service level agreements (SLA). Special attention has been devoted to the efficient management of computational resources. The usage of an intelligent agent platform (IAP) with this respect is motivated. The case study of an adaptive distributed caching architecture is presented and the agent for adaptive distributed data caching is detailed. Furthermore, a sample scenario is provided to illustrate the different stages in the data caching process and how distributed intelligent agents are used in favor
