1. A method for globally managing systems, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining at a first system manager one or more measurable effects of at least one hypothetical action to achieve a management goal;
sending the one or more measurable effects from the first system manager to a second system manager;
determining at the second system manager one or more procedural actions to achieve the management goal in response to the one or more received measurable effects; and
executing the one or more procedural actions to achieve the management goal.

Abstract
Techniques for globally managing systems are provided. One or more measurable effects of at least one hypothetical action to achieve a management goal are determined at a first system manager. The one or more measurable effects are sent from the first system manager to a second system manager. At the second system manager, one or more procedural actions to achieve the management goal are determined in response to the one or more received measurable effects. The one or more procedural actions are executed to achieve the management goal.
