Summary:This paper presents IBM Tivoli Monitoring, a systems management application that displays autonomic behavior at run time, and focuses on extending it in order to encompass the design and the deployment phases of the product life cycle. It reviews the resource model concept, illustrates it with an example, and discusses its role throughout the product life cycle. Then it introduces basic concepts in ontology and description logics and discusses representing Common Information Model constructs using description logics. Finally, it proposes Systems Management Ontology, an approach to enhancing the autonomic properties of IBM Tivoli Monitoring based on an ontology service and the technique of contextual pulling applied to the resource model.
