  • System specification language for resource management architecture and corresponding programs therefore
    Patent number: 7171654
    Abstract: A method for distributing application, system and network specification information to functional elements controlling a plurality of hosts in a distributed environment, including steps for preparing specification files in a language providing a syntax adapted to describe application, system and network specification information, compiling the specification files to thereby generate specification objects, and providing an application programming interface (API) permitting the functional elements to access the specification information using API calls.
