Abstract
Highly demanding application running on grids needs carefully prepared environments. Real-time High Energy Physics (HEP) application from Int.eu.grid project is a good example of an application with requirements difficult to fulfill by typical grid environments. In the paper we present Service Level Agreement metrics which are used by application’s dedicated virtual organization (HEP VO) to sign SLA with service providers. HEP VO with signed SLAs is able to guarantee sufficient service quality for the application. These SLAs are enforced using presented VO Portal.
