Trustworthy Detection and Arbitration of SLA Violations in the Cloud

In cloud computing, detecting violations of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is possible by measuring certain metrics, which can be done by both the provider and the consumer of a service. However, both parties have contradicting interests with regards to these measurements, which makes it difficult to reach consensus about whether SLA violations have occurred.
