Abstract

Utilizing cloud-based services, consumers gain a high level of flexibility, but they cannot obtain individual Quality of Service guarantees or request service compositions according to their specific business needs. Therefore, appropriate mechanisms for an automated negotiation of Quality of Service parameters are required that do not only consider the individual business objectives and strategies of the negotiation partners involved, but do also account for the dependencies between the different services and service tiers in cloud computing. This enables enterprises to increase the quality and flexibility of their business processes and lays the foundation for market-based complex service provisioning. In this paper, we present one such negotiation approach and evaluate the application of different negotiation strategies.
