1. A method comprising:
- generating a self-adapting system configuration, the configuration including a setting for a system dependent element, the setting having an abstract value to be resolved based at least in part on a characteristic of a system receiving the system configuration;
installing the configuration in a recipient system;
resolving the value for the setting for the recipient system based at least in part on a characteristic of the recipient system, wherein resolution of the value of the setting occurs at runtime for the recipient system; and
dynamically adapting the system configuration by changing the value of the setting based at least in part on a change in the characteristic of the recipient system.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for virtualized and adaptive configuration. An embodiment of a method includes generating a system configuration. The configuration includes a setting, with the setting having an abstract value to be resolved based at least in part on a characteristic of a system. The configuration is installed in a recipient system, and a value is resolved for the setting based at least in part on a characteristic of the recipient system.

6. A server comprising:
-
a database to contain a set of abstract configuration elements for a configuration; and a resolving engine to receive an abstract configuration element from the set of abstract configuration elements, the resolving engine to resolve a value for the abstract configuration element at runtime for a recipient system, the value to be resolved for the purposes of the recipient system for the; and a set of characteristic values for the recipient system, the resolving engine to obtain a characteristic value from the set of characteristic values and to resolve the abstract configuration element based at least in part on the characteristic value; wherein the resolving engine is to dynamically adapt the system configuration by changing the value of the abstract configuration element based at least in part on a change in the characteristic value for the recipient system. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-readable medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
producing a configuration for a recipient system, the configuration including an element with a value that is to be resolved based at least in part on a system characteristic; determining a recipient system for the configuration; resolving the value of the element of the configuration at runtime for the recipient system based at least in part on a characteristic of the recipient system; and dynamically adapting the system configuration by modifying the value of the element of the configuration based on a modification in the characteristic of the recipient system. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
