Automation of management tasks is an effective counter-measure to the growing complexity of distributed systems. An increasingly popular view redefines the role of the management system to include automated validation and enforcement of policy. This research proposes an architecture for a policy-driven management system which can adapt dynamically to policy change. We show how this architecture can be implemented in a CORBA distributed object computing environment on top of the recently adopted System Management Common Management Facilities.
