Abstract
A design tool includes a service definition model to enable abstract description of distributed computing systems and distributed applications. The design tool also includes a schema to dictate how functional operations within the service definition model are to be specified. The functional operations include design of distributed applications, deployment of distributed applications, and management of distributed applications.

9. A software architecture for use in designing, deploying, and managing distributed applications on a distributed computing system, the software architecture comprising:
-
a first software layer for tools used to convert machines into servers used in the distributed computing system; a second software layer for network management and virtual topology generation of distributed applications; a third software layer to maintain a physical model of the distributed computing system; a fourth software layer to facilitate allocation of logical resources requested by the distributed application; a fifth software layer for a service definition model (SDM) that provides a namespace and context for describing operations processes and an API for application introspection and control of application resources; and a sixth software layer to define reusable building blocks of a distributed application, which use the SDM APIs for context, naming, and binding; and a seventh software layer for operational management of the distributed application.
