Abstract: In various exemplary embodiments, a system and associated method to provide application-centric resource management of a plurality of functional units in an enterprise environment is disclosed. The system, in an exemplary embodiment, comprises a deploy service module to determine whether one or more of the plurality of functional units within the enterprise environment is added or removed, an information model repository to provide information related to the plurality of functional units, a functional unit container to store a listing of resource services related to the plurality of functional units, and a managed resources container to associate each of the plurality of functional units with one or more development components in the enterprise environment. A user-interface is configured to display non-technical management information relating to each of the plurality of functional units.

Abstract: In a process of developing software applications from software components, the validity of component interactions is automatically validated by a program that determines a permission statement for any given utilization of a server component (305) by a client component (307). In a predefined structure (211–272), descriptors (211–219) are assigned (231–239) to components (301–309), descriptors (220–225) are assigned (241–255) to descriptors (211–224), some descriptors (223) have declarations to components (305), and some descriptors (217) have declarations to descriptors (223). The permission statement is true when 4 predefined conditions are all in compliance. The conditions are defined in relation to a common descriptor (225), to client (217) and server (223) intermediate descriptors, and to first (261) and second (262) declarations.
