The event specification as part of the policy description consists of
the name of the event and its attributes following the keyword
DELIVERS. Table shows the structure of the
policy description. The attributes are bound to variables which are
typed with string, long, or boolean. With
the help of the variables, it is possible to reuse attribute values in the
specification in the ACTION and CONSTRAINT parts of
the policy. An example is given in table
.
As a result of this, there is no distinction between different kinds of events, like monitoring, timing, or composed events. Basic event correlation is also not implemented, but could probably be done in a decentralised fashion by the agents of the management objects or in the constraint part of the policy specification.
