Integration of WBEM-based management agents in the OSI framework

In this paper, we propose a set of mappings and an implementation of an integration agent allowing WBEM-based agents implementing a CIM information model to be managed by OSI-based management platforms and applications. Extending existing integration approaches, this paper provides three original items that are the support of the CIM meta-model in an OSI agent, the mapping of relationships onto GRM specifications as well as a full Java-based implementation of the Q.adapter.
