1. A method for managing usage of service objects in a network comprising network resources including the service objects, each service object being configured to be used by other network resources to perform a specified function, the method being computer-implemented and comprising:
- monitoring a usage of each service object to determine at least (a) a usage level for each service object, and (b) an identity of each network resource using the service object; and
storing the information determined by said monitoring, the information including for each service object at least (a) the usage level for each service object, and (b) the identity of each network resource using the service object.

54. A method for managing usage of process objects in a network comprising network resources including service objects and the process objects, each service object being configured to performed a specified function and further being configured to be used by other network resources including the process objects, each process object comprising executable code for performing a process including using one or more of the service objects, the method being computer-implemented and comprising:
-
monitoring a usage of each process object to determine at least (a) a usage level for the process object, (b) an identity of each network resource using the process object, and (c) an identity of each service object used by the process object; and storing the information determined by said monitoring, the information including for each process object at least (a) the usage level for the process object, (b) the identity of each network resource using the process object, and (c) the identity of each service object used by the process object. - View Dependent Claims (55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69)

70. A system for managing usage of service objects in a network comprising network resources including the service objects, each service object being configured to be used by other network resources to perform a specified function, the system comprising:
-
a monitor for monitoring a usage of each service object to determine at least (a) a usage level for each service object, and (b) an identity of each network resource using the service object; and a database for storing the information determined by said monitoring, the information including for each service object at least (a) the usage level for each service object, and (b) the identity of each network resource using the service object. - View Dependent Claims (71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92)

93. A system for managing usage of process objects in a network comprising network resources including service objects and the process objects, each service object being configured to performed a specified function and further being configured to be used by other network resources including the process objects, each process object comprising executable code for using one or more of the service objects, the system comprising:
-
a monitor for monitoring a usage of each process object to determine at least (a) a usage level for the process object, (b) an identity of each network resource using the process object, and (c) an identity of each service object used by the process object; and a database for storing the information determined by said monitoring, the information including for each process object at least (a) the usage level for the process object, (b) the identity of each network resource using the process object, and (c) the identity of each service object used by the process object. - View Dependent Claims (94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99)
