1. A method for providing debugging and optimization in policy and knowledge controlled distributed computing system, comprising:
- generating descriptive information associated with one or more steps of one or more of policy creation, transformation and deployment;
associating a unique identifying tag with the descriptive information; and
storing the descriptive information and the unique identifying tag,wherein said one or more steps of one or more of policy creation, transformation and deployment can be debugged or optimized or combination thereof using the descriptive information and the unique identifying tag.

Abstract
A mechanism to provide debugging and optimization in policy and knowledge controlled distributed computing system through the use of tagged policies is provided. An aspect of the mechanism tags one or more policies, for instance, at their creation time, execution time and/or at any other time an event that affects the policies occur. Decisions made according to policy execution or evaluation may be traced using the tags.
