Abstract

See full text

A method of deploying a 'resource model' in a distributed computer network using a computer having graphical user interface (GUI). The resource model has a number of properties associated therewith including a set of mapping rules. To deploy the resource model, an icon representing the resource model is displayed on the interface, together with a set of distribution icons. Each distribution icon, for example, represents a set of given machines in the distributed computer network. The icon representing the resource model is then associated with a selected one of the distributed icons, preferably via a drag-and-drop protocol. When the resource model icon is dropped onto the selected distribution icon, the resource model is deployed in the network by instantiating its mapping rules at each machine in the set.
