Machine-to-Machine communications comprise a large number of intelligent devices sharing information and making cooperative decisions without any human intervention. To support M2M requirements and applications which are in perpetual evolution, many standards are designed, updated and rendered obsolete. Among these, arises from The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) a promising standard for M2M communications. The ETSI M2M provides in particular a standardized framework for interoperable M2M Services. As most of its peer, this standard does not, however, address the issue of dynamic reconfiguration or provide a suitable model for the reasoning required to build self-managed M2M architectures. In our paper, we propose a graph-based approach built on top of the ETSI standard, including rules for reconfiguration management, to enforce selfmanagement properties of M2M communications.
