Here is one paper I found Regarding Contracts (HS):
Service Level Agreements on IP Networks, by Dinesh C. Verma, IBM T.J Watson Research Center
They break SLAs in IP network environments into three main services:
1) Network Connectivity
2) Hosting Services
3) Integrated Services
They also mention three common approaches used to support and manage service level agreements.
1) Insurance Approach
2) Configuration and Provisioning techniques
3) Adaptive Approach
