W3C WS Arch WG Management OF Web services requirements

[Heather Kreger <kreger@us.ibm.com>]

wsdmers,

Here are the manageability requirements defined for the Web Services
Architecture Requirements Working Draft: (available at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-wsa-reqs-20021114)

AC018
      The WSA must enable the management and provisioning of Web Services
            AC018.1 ensure that implementations of the WSA are manageable.
                  AR018.1.1 define a base set of standard metrics for
                  architectural components and their interactions
                  accompanied by guidelines for measurement.
                  AR018.1.2 define a base set of standard management
                  operations for Web Services Architecture implementations.
                  Management operations includes, but is not limited to,
                  support for configuration control and lifecycle control.
                  AR018.1.3 define a base set of management events to be
                  issued by the Web Services Architecture implementation.
                  AR018.1.4 define a standard methodology for accessing
                  management capabilities from the WSA implementation.
            AC018.2 ensure that implementations of the Web Service
            instances are manageable.
                  AR018.2.1 define how a web service should expose web
                  service specific metrics, configuration, operations, and
                  events.
                  AR018.2.2 support the discovery of web service management
                  capabilities.
                  AR018.2.3 define a standard methodology for accessing
                  management capabilities of a Web Service through the WSA
                  implementation.
            AC018.3 ensure that at least the following types of management
            aspects are supported: Resource Accounting, Usage Auditing and
            Tracking, Performance Monitoring, Availability, Configuration,
            Control, Security Auditing and Administration, and Service
            Level Agreements

This draft of the Web Services Architecture,
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/arch/wsa/wd-wsa-arch.html,
contains a description of the management concepts and manager role for a
'manageable Web services architecture'. This draft is  being refactored and
therefore this text will change, but the concepts will remain.
