Abstract

This paper outlines an Architectural Model and accompanying modeling notation that addresses on the need to model management component interfaces and their business contexts in a technology neutral manner in order to promote convergence on stable, reusable solutions. The approach combines existing modeling concepts related to component-based and model-driven software development from TINA-C, OMG, DMTF and TM Forum in order to provide guidance on the development of models that need to be exchanged between organizations involved in the development of software components and the management systems in which they are used. The Architectural Model is assessed through application to the management a specific set of e-business support services.
