Abstract
A system and a method are provided for using dynamic object modeling and one or more types of policy rules to dynamically specify and modify system behavior at various levels of abstraction, including business, system, and device implementation. The system and method allow for specifying, instantiating, managing, and removing sets of temporary or permanent additions and/or modifications to the attributes or behavior of a set of objects, relationships, scripts, and/or applications of a device, module, subsystem, or system, without having to change the underlying code of these objects, relationships, scripts, and/or applications. The systems and methods enable attributes, methods and/or relationships (e.g., associations, aggregations, and/or compositions), as well as constraints on any of these elements, to be dynamically added or changed at runtime without changing any underlying code of the components being managed by instantiating and manipulating object instances in accordance with certain policy rules.
