Abstract
A method for maximizing revenue generated from a plurality of service level agreements (SLAs) that includes receiving a first subset of the plurality of SLAs for executing a first plurality of jobs, wherein each SLA in the first subset specifies a first maximum requested delay that is greater than an initial minimum offered delay, and wherein a price of each SLA in the first subset is defined by the maximum requested delay and a price/delay function, calculating a first expected revenue from executing the first subset, and optimizing a second subset of the plurality of SLAs by replacing the initial minimum offered delay on the initial price/delay function with a new minimum offered delay based on the expected revenue, wherein each SLA in the second subset specifies a second maximum requested delay that is greater than the new minimum offered delay.
