Research and Implementation of a Configuration and Management System based on Service Platform

The configuration and management of service components is a complex task, while now the works are mainly done by manual operations. The logic businesses of the service platform are often provided by several distributed service components, so the management of the service platform has to cover these components. Aiming at an efficient way of managing the service components under the service platform, we introduced the configuration and management system. We build it by defining an information model for the service components, which captures the information needed to the management of services. We propose our system design and implementation to support the management of service platform. The system is mainly composed of five parts: model repository, configuration model, configuration restrictions, configuration editor and management user interface. Then we introduce an application of the system. Finally we give a conclusion. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
