Abstract
Distributed applications are becoming larger and more complex. Management support for applications is often cited by end-users as the single most important aspect required in distributed computing systems. In order to ensure reliable and efficient operations, applications must be monitored and controlled. We present a framework for designing and developing distributed applications that can be managed. We introduce the DAM Model which is the key component of this framework. This framework can be used as an instrument not only for the new applications being developed but also for the existing applications that have been developed without the management in mind. A prototype implementation of a distributed application management system using our framework is also presented.Keywords
