[RTF] Conceptual Management Model (call for public discussions)

hi,

The RTF wants people's view on the following issue:

Do we need a Conceptual Management Model in the requirement document?

I proposed the following two items[1] to be added to D-AC18 [2] proposed by
Zula and Heather.

AR018.1.5 Define a standard (conceptual) management model for architectural
components, their dependencies and their lifecycles.

AR018.1.5 Define a standard (conceptual) management model for Web Services
instances, 
their dependencies and their lifecycles.

My motivation for suggesting them is that a high-level conceptual management
model can 
1) help ensure a WS architecture and service manageable;
2) be a standard starting point for future work on WS management; 
3) unify metrics, management operations, and events as outlined in AR018.1
and AR018.2[2];
4) help the deployment of a WS.

Any thoughts and comments on this issue would be appreciated.

Hao
