Abstract
A method and apparatus for specifying and generating an alteration in a model representative of a system composed of a plurality of components, the method comprising the steps of associating configuration non-specific representations with corresponding functions operable on the model, each of the configuration non-specific representations includes representations of objects and attributes of, and/or relationships among system components, associating configuration non-specific representations of desired changes to the model for enabling alterations to the objects, attributes, relationships and/or functions of the objects, attributes and relationships subject to constraints imposed by attributes of the system, and applying the configuration non-specific represented changes to the configuration of a baseline model representation of the system to generate a new configuration non-specific model where the changes have been applied.
