Abstract :
The design and the architecture of the management service in the Guide object-oriented distributed system is presented. First, we discuss general problems of distributed system management. Then we propose the use of persistent objects to specify system, configuration and the different interfaces these objects need to bind in order to allow the control and the monitoring of managed entities. After that we discuss the need for several levels of representation of management information. And finally we discuss the use of database services and data replication to ensure the availability, the reliability, and the consistency of these objects
