Abstract
In Grid, e-Science and e-Business environments, Service Level Agreements are often used to establish frameworks for the delivery
of services between service providers and the organisations hosting the researchers. While this high level SLAs define the
overall quality of the services, it is desirable for the end-user to have dedicated service quality also for individual services
like the orchestration of resources necessary for composed services. Grid level scheduling services typically are responsible
for the orchestration and co-ordination of resources in the Grid. Co-allocation e.g. requires the Grid level scheduler to
co-ordinate resource management systems located in different domains. As the site autonomy has to be respected negotiation
is the only way to achieve the intended co-ordination. SLAs emerged as a new way to negotiate and manage usage of resources
in the Grid and are already adopted by a number of management systems. Therefore, it is natural to look for ways to adopt
SLAs for Grid level scheduling. In order to do this, efficient and flexible protocols are needed, which support dynamic negotiation
and creation of SLAs. In this paper we propose and discuss extensions to the WS-Agreement protocol addressing these issues.
