A specification language allows Grids or Grid components to be described in a precise and systematic manner so the events they produce whilst being monitored may be understood by the monitoring actors and across monitoring perspectives. An Event schema is a type of specification language that defines the typed structure and semantics of all monitoring events so that given an event type one may find the correct structure and interpret the semantics of a given event [Andreozzi:2007], [Zanikolas:2004]. Examples are Glue schema [Andreozzi:2007], WSLA [Ludwig:2003], Common Information Model (CIM) [CIM:2008], OGF Usage Record Format [Mach:2007].


Generic
(domain independent)

Monitoring specification characterizes the languages and means used to define the properties of interest [CD-JRA-1.2.2]. The relevant elements of such a classification are
  •  monitoring primitives, i.e., basic building blocks used to define more complex derived properties. A typical example is the event property, which refers to elementary events mentioned in the monitored specification.
  • notation  and formalism used to unambiguously express the required properties.
  • level of abstraction from the implementation and domain-specific details.
  • degree of interleaving with the application specification that characterize how tight the relation between the monitoring specification and application specification is. This may range from cases, where the monitoring specification is a part of application logic, to the cases, where it is defined and changed completely separately from the application logic.
Examples are Event Calculus Assertion language [MS07], Web Service Constraint Language [BG05], Run-time Monitoring Language [PT07]
