An event-driven computer system for simultaneous management and deployment of software onto an application platform comprises one or more computing solutions, the system comprising: a processor for executing computer code and processing information; a memory for storing the computer code and information, the computer code comprising software tools. The software tools comprise: a behavior model editor for constructing a system model that represents the behavior of the application platform; the behavior model editor comprises behavior components, each behavior component representing an aspect of the application platform. The software tools further comprise: a topology model editor for constructing a visual topology model. This topology model editor comprises: a top level of nodes and lower level nodes, and represents a logical topology of the application platform, where each top-level node in the topology model represents at least one computing solution. In addition, the software tools comprise: a mapping algorithm for transforming one or more deployment units into execution units and for mapping one or more execution units to at least one computing solution; and a deployment protocol for distributing the one or more execution units over a network to at least one computing solution.
