Abstract: The paper proposes an architecture model for design system management software. The model consists of a management platform and one or more management applications that run upon the platform. The management platform is actually a policy-based, three-tiers, center-oriented, multi-tiered framework. Management application is a software module that performs concrete management functions. The most important advantage of the model is that it has good extensibility. It lays emphasis on the design of the management platform.

摘要： 提出了系统管理软件的一种设计模型，该模型由一个管理平台和多个管理应用组成。管理平台本质上是一个三层架构的、集中与分层相结合的、支持管理应用模块即插即用的管理框架；管理应用模块是在平台上集成的管理功能模块，该模型最重要的特点在于它具有很好的可扩展性。论文着重阐述了三层架构的管理平台的设计技术。
