Meet the Service Modeling Language specification, a proposed open standard that defines a modeling language complete with a set of constructs to help you model complex system hierarchies for components that manage such elements as configuration, monitoring, policy, health, capacity planning, and Service Level Agreements (SLA). One of the effects of SML is to increase the automation of management tasks, thereby reducing the need for a human to intervene in necessary adjustments. This article provides a quick look at the specification.
This series of “Meet the specs” articles focuses on various components of the Service Modeling Language specification. This article includes excerpted and paraphrased text from the original specification.
