In this paper we focus on the use of models in the development of managed networked embedded systems. In this context, models offer a mechanism that allows the level of abstraction to be raised during development and more advanced functionalities such as adaptability to be targeted. In applications where management and configuration are central issues, there is a need for coordination between the development of the operational system and the development of the management system. In current practice, the two developments are often disconnected. This paper argues that the two developments should be done as much as possible in a collaborative way, and that integration of the developments is facilitated by the use of models in both developments. Finally, the paper explains how the model-based development in this area facilitates the addition of manageability and auto-configuration capabilities, which are premises for adaptability.
