Abstract
The Storage Resource Manager had been proposed as a standard interface for high-end storage systems deployed on Grid architectures. In this paper we propose a conceptual model for the SRM that should supplement its API specification with a clear and concise definition of its underlying structural and behavioral concepts. This model would make it easier to define its semantics; it would help service and application developers, and provide for a more rigorous validation of implementations. Different notations are used as appropriate to define different aspects of the model
