Abstract
A processor-implemented method implemented to model devices in a network utilizing an assembly providing an arbitrary model includes utilizing one or more first models to represent relationships between devices in the network for control and management thereof, wherein the one or more first models are implemented in an associated database of one or more databases each with an associated schema; defining an assembly to implement the arbitrary model different from the first model, wherein the assembly comprises pointers to data instances in the one or more databases; and utilizing the arbitrary model for control and management of the devices in the network, wherein the control and management via the arbitrary model updates the data instances in the one or more databases representing the first model.
