为分布式系统管理定义了几种体系结构，其中大多数源于网络管理领域。它们都共享多模型的思想，至少包括信息模型、通信模型和功能模型。配置管理是功能模型的一部分，但非常依赖于信息模型。由于其在网络管理中的历史，信息模型本身主要限于描述与硬件观点紧密结合的硬件实体或软件实体的先验已知属性。用这样的模型来建模分布式系统和应用程序的动态关系是困难的，如果不是不可能的话。因此，我们提出了一个新的信息模型，侧重于分布式系统的动态描述。该系统采用面向对象的技术，如原型-实例模型，很好地满足了系统管理的实际需求。由于我们没有明确地将它与特定的分发机制联合收割机结合起来，因此它与任何给定的或未来的通信模型都是正交的。我们提出了一个典型的案例研究，在分析我们的方法，我们描述了我们的模型的设计和实施。
Several architectures are defined for distributed systems management, most of which stem from the network management domain. They all share the idea of multiple models, at least comprising an information model, a communication model, and a functional model. Configuration management is part of the functional model but is very dependent on the information model. Due to its history in network management, the information model itself is mostly restricted to describe a priori known properties of hardware entities or software entities closely bound to the hardware point of view. Modeling the dynamic relationships of distributed systems and applications with such a model is hard if not impossible. Therefore we propose a new information model that focuses on the dynamic description of distributed systems. By using object-oriented technologies such as a prototype-instance model, it is well suited for the actual demands of system administration. Since we do not explicitly combine it with a particular distribution mechanism, it is orthogonal to any given or future communication model. We present an exemplary case study in the analysis to our approach, and we describe the design and implementation of our model.
