SLA Based e-Learning Service Provisioning in Cloud

摘要

Cloud services allow individuals and businesses to use software and hardware that are managed by third parties at remote locations. The cloud computing model allows access to information and computing resources from anywhere through only the successful network connection. Cloud computing provides Infrastructure, Software and Platform as-a-service to its users with huge data storage, networks, processing power, and applications. Compared to traditional computing, its resources and services are available and scalable according to consumers need. Hence, e-Learning has been an interesting area where use of cloud can be leveraged, to reach online education across the globe. Provisioning of specific services is always depending on relevant Service Level Agreements that need to be agreed by both parties: provider and consumer. The objective of this paper is to provision e-Learning service on cloud. In order to accomplish this goal, negotiation of corresponding SLA parameters specific to the e-Learning service is necessary.
