Abstract
New information processing services structures based on client-server
concepts gain growing importance in both scientific and commercial computing
because they provide a high flexibility with respect to the positioning of
building blocks of a distributed application. The price for this flexibility,
however, is a more complex system management. The paper discusses the new
management requirements in a cooperative computing environment. The management
platforms needed in this context must provide appropriate models for cooperation.
Services for supporting distributed management applications and an information
model as a basis for the modeling of resources relevant to system management.
The paper presents and evaluates approaches to solutions existing so far in
research and development.
Keywords: System management; cooperative computing; management platforms;
distributed
systems.
