Abstract
A system assures quality of service provided by a distributed network having at least one object. The system creates a contract that stores levels of quality of service offered by the network, determines a quality of service required by the object, and evaluates the contract to select a level of quality of service that corresponds to a current quality of service provided by the network. The system then compares the current quality of service to the required quality of service, and adjusts the current quality of service to obtain the required quality of service when the current quality of service fails to satisfy the required quality of service.
