The key issue in cloud computing in enterprises is the management of the Quality of Service (QoS), by an appropriate SLM (Service Level Management). Cloud Service Provider are offering SLMs to their users. We think that a third party SLM can be a better way to assure a robust and equal SLM. This paper presents the elements of third party SLM, namely Cloud Service Registration Agent, Negotiation Agent, Compensation Agent, Comment Agent, Billing Agent and Service Monitoring Engine. Such framework has been tested in a real life case. Results show that third party SLM is not only equal, but also dependable and reasonably easy to implement.

Abstract
The key issue in cloud computing in enterprises is the management of the Quality of Service (QoS), by an appropriate SLM (Service Level Management). Cloud Service Provider are offering SLMs to their users. We think that a third party SLM can be a better way to assure a robust and equal SLM. This paper presents the elements of third party SLM, namely Cloud Service Registration Agent, Negotiation Agent, Compensation Agent, Comment Agent, Billing Agent and Service Monitoring Engine. Such framework has been tested in a real life case. Results show that third party SLM is not only equal, but also dependable and reasonably easy to implement.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
