Aiming at the lack of semantic description for Service-Level Agreement (SLA) elements used in negotiation and the negotiation process in the SLA auto-negotiation, a negotiation mechanism based on the semantic Web technology was proposed, At first, a negotiation ontology named Osn was proposed, which was used for the description of SLA elements directly used in negotiation;the mapping function and the evaluation function of negotiation for these SLA elements were designed and described in this Osn, and the formal description of the main concepts and the relationship between these concepts was given based on description logic to provide a satisfiable semantic model for the Osn. Then a bargain model was put forward for SLA negotiation, and it was illustrated that a Pareto optimal offer could be generated by adopting this model through the proof of the related proposition and theorem;the service ontology was designed for SLA negotiation based on the mapping between OWL-S and Unified Modeling Language (UML) using this bargain model. The result of case study shows that the knowledge can form the sequence of offers which satisfied the need to maximize the interest of negotiation participants. It is illustrated that Osn can provide the service ontology with the parameter type support for the negotiation of an arbitrary SLA;the SLA negotiation oriented bargain model can generate the SLA accepted by both negotiation participants.
