A meta-model for fault management

This paper describes the top level of a meta-model for fault management. This meta-model can be used to help refine existing terminology. It can also be used to formalize standard development strategies for fault management services. This work is the outgrowth of a modeling effort that was performed by the Services for Reliable, Available, and Serviceable Systems Working Group (SRASS WG) which has been meeting as part of the IEEE Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) Standards effort.
