Abstract
—This paper proposes an alternative approach to software management in heterogeneous environments. It targets encapsulation and dependency management of component systems using Stanford Beer’s Viable System Model (VSM) as requirements and organizational model. VSM is expressed with meanings of Common Information Model (CIM) extensions that serve as basis for an object-oriented representation of managed components. A control-loop architecture is proposed to facilitate monitoring of heterogeneous component environments using the developed model.
