About the Project

Service Level Agreements (SLAs) have been promoted as a means to forge agreements between users and providers of services. These agreements could specify acceptable constraints for the provision of services. These constraints can be used by providers to optimize the use of their resources and at the same time from users to obtain better deals from the providers. Managing the SLAs is a challenging task from the provider’s point of view, as SLAs may increase pressure on their resources.

There are various optimization problems, for some indication of past research in the area, I could point to: http://www.gridscheduling.org

Funding Notes

Candidates who have been offered a place for PhD study in the School of Computer Science may be considered for funding by the School. Each year around 20 new PhD students are awarded funding via the School. Further details on School funding can be found at: http://www.cs.manchester.ac.uk/study/postgraduate-research/programmes/phd/funding/school-studentships/.

In addition, exceptional students may be considered for the President's Doctoral Scholar Award and the Dean's Award. Further details on these opportunities can be found at: http://www.eps.manchester.ac.uk/our-research/funding/.
