This is the template for Facilities Specifications.

Overview

The motto at the heart of the management facilities is

less dependencies for more management

meaning that the requirements posed to resources (even independent resources) to be managed are minimal, close to zero in some cases. All the implemented solutions have been prioritized in order to pursue this goal.

Key Features

Extensible Notion of Resource
a resource model which is open to modular extensions at runtime by arbitrary third parties
Transparent software resource management
management facilities request nearly zero-dependency to managed resources with lightweight integration mechanisms with existing technologies
Dynamic Deployment and Optimal Resource (re)Allocation
...
Resource Lifetime Management
...
More self-elastic management for less constraints
...

...

Subsystems

Because

  1. the identified facilities might be quite extent / "fat" from the functional point of view and
  2. the information introduced so far is very generic from a technical point of view

one or more 'subsystem' pages should be created.

Each subsystem page is expected to provide the reader with a description capturing design and deployment aspects as well as supported use cases. The following template is proposed:

Subsystem Specification Template

Next step will be the identification of the subsystems for each facility.
