A XML based Policy-Driven Information Service

The use of XML as a vendor, implementation and operating system neutral means of describing system events and system management policies is described. The need for handling heterogeneity in emerging distributed systems by management solutions and the utility of XML in this regard is discussed. The design and architecture of a prototype implementation of a XML based policy-driven information server is described.
