The interest in SLA in accordance with the development of IT outsourcing has increased due to the rapid development of information systems. Moreover, an awareness and necessity for the Information System Operating Audit has increased while an effective IT service management operations for information systems is needed desperately. However, information system operations and maintenance instructions of the National Information Society Agency operates due to the current information system operation, but the experience and the interpretation of the auditor determine the decision in the field. This paper introduces an operating audit model for the efficient management. This model is derived from the Korea Information Society Agency's operating instructions of the Information Systems Audit and their inspection services. The audit checklists were derived from the areas of service planning, service delivery, service support, and service management. Consequently, the operating audit model was proposed, and the suitability of this model was verified by experts' opinions on the survey.

For the successful IT operation outsourcing there need appropriate metrics on which both of the service clients and provider agree. The metrics are used to set up the service level objectives, which are manifested in the service level agreement with price. A study of metrics is necessary for the following reasons: First, most of the metrics used today were introduced in the early years of computers and are not satisfactory to both of the service providers and clients. Second, metrics represent the performance of system components but not end-user satisfaction. Third, because the service provider leads the outsourcing agreement, the objectives are specified more favorable to the provider. The objectives should be based on metrics that both sides fully understand and agree on.

Internet service providers provide various security services, such as firewall, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, anti-virus, along with their main Internet services. Those security service users have no idea what kind of quality services they are guaranteed. And therefore, Internet users interest in Security Service Level Agreement(SLA) increases as their interest in secure Internet service increases. However, there wasn't any researches in the S-SLA area domestically and there are only limited SLA indexes related to system or service maintenances at the moment. Therefore, this paper analyses security functions in IPS services and categorize them into common and independent security functions. Finally to improve quality of security services, this paper proposes S-SLA indexes depending on the different security levels. This will be subdivide into agreement on security service.

최근 정보통신서비스 시장은 다양한 요인에 의해 서비스 사업자간의 경쟁심화와 고객요구수준의 향상 등의 추세가 강화되고 있으며, 경쟁양상 측면과 고객이 사업자에게 요구하는 서비스 제공특성 등의 측면에서 많은 변화가 일어나고 있다. 특히, 정보통신서비스에 대한 서비스 제공 품질수준과 관련하여 SLA (서비스수준협약)의 중요도는 점차 증대하고 있으나, 대부분 해외의 선진사레나 고객의 요구내용 (VOC)을 여과 없이 반영해서 제공하는 추세여서, 사업자의 입장에서는 SLA를 제공하는 과정에서 다양한 유형의 문제점을 안고 있으며, 실질적인 효과를 거두고 있는 사례를 찾아보기 힘든 상황이다. 이와 같은 배경에서, 본 논문에서는 최근 다양한 분야에서 폭 넓게 활용되고 있는 6 시그마 방법론에서 제시하고 있는 다양한 도구들을 활용하여, 사업자가 SLA 제공체계를 수립하는 과정에서 필요한 서비스품질 보증항목의 도출 및 보증수준의 설정, 측정과 관련된 다양한 요소에 대한 설정 및 관리방법, 보상수준의 설정 등에 대한 체계적인 제공방법에 대해서 제시하고자 한다.

As the cloud services, the underlying technology of the digital convergence environment, have been widely adopted in the business, personal information protection has been recognized as one of the major issues to resolve. When cloud services are used to process the personal information, the personal information protection law speculates the establishment of a contract or service level agreement(SLA). This research presents 7 privacy indicators and 13 metrics which can be included in cloud SLA, based on the analysis of related regulation and standards and the SMART(Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Relevant and Timely) model. The proposed indicators are examined using the Focus Group Interview method in terms of materiality and feasibility. The results show that all the proposed indicators are meaningful and useful.

In this study We designed development and operation of computer maintenance & repair system which is efficient and systematic on the disorder of PC in the places with many computers such as company, public organization, school, etc. We designed so as to clearly measure and manage the service level by using SLA(Service Level Agreement) technique which is being used actively in network maintenance & repair contract And We designed system which can provide One Stop Service so that the whole process of service including service demand point, maintenance & repair activity, user's satisfaction.

Due to the great advances in e-Marketplace and changes in type of items purchased from the online market, it has been dramatically increased the demand of the storage and transportation under the special conditions such as restricted temperature. Especially, the cold chain needs the way to transparently measure and monitor the entire network in realtime because it has a very complicated structure and requires totally different criteria at the every different steps and items. In this research, it has been presented the performance evaluation metrics to make contract using service level agreement (SLA), the way to apply the smart contract based on blockchain, the structure of blocks, service platform and application in order to build cold chain which can prevent the risk factors by measuring and sharing information in realtime using block chain technology. In addition, we have proposed the way to store the measured performance and reputation of each player in the block using smart contract based on SLA. With the presented framework, all players including service providers as well as users can secure the information for making the rational decisions. When the service platform is actually built and operated, it seems possible to secure the information in transparently and realtime. Also, it is possible to prevent the risk factors or prepare the preemptive plans to react on them.

Depending on the increase amongst various cloud services, the technology of the Cloud Service Broker (CSB) to find the most appropriate services to meet the needs of cloud service consumers has emerged. In order to advance for cloud services to be used through the CSB, it is important to ensure the quality level that meets the demands of consumers through a negotiation process based on the Service Level Agreement (SLA). However, quality metrics of cloud services are different from each other based on the measurement scale, which represents the quality level, and the calculation for each type of cloud services. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the variability of the quality of cloud services and establish a SLA model for ensuring and improving the level of quality. In this paper, we analyze the quality metrics for the specific type of cloud services by applying the cross-cutting concept and propose a Virtual SLA (VSLA) meta-model.
