Abstract :
A policy can be defined as any type of formal behavioural guide that is input to the system. Examples of policies that can be found in data center management systems include SLA, traditional event-triggered rules and business objectives. Specified policies are mapped to executable elements in the system. Usually each policy is mapped separately. This work shows how a set of policy can be considered as a whole in the context of the management of a data center.
