// Description: The classes represent the characterization of
//      software resources (SW resource). A SW resource is an
//      abstraction of the utilization of other entities in the
//      environment (communications, memory, files, etc.) within
//      the context of the software entity being managed. This version
//      version of software resources concentrates on
//      entities to transfer data over space and time from the
//      internal view of running software. Processor/CPU-like resources
//      are not considered for now.
//      Software for which resources exist can be vary from operating
//      system to application systems. An application system is
//      an entity that supports a particular business
//      function and that can be managed as an independent unit.
//      The behavior a software resource is that items bundled
//      in transfers are input to or output from the resource.
//      What happens to the items inside the resource depends on
//      type of resource (transferring data over time or space) and
//      the implementation.
//      The following types of software resources are considered:
//      Buffer, Queue, Protocol Endpoint, Remote Interface, Pool,
//      Cache, File and Database.
//      The software resources consist of statistics that
//      describe their input, output and allocation (size).
//      An associated settings class allows for setting
//      the limits (I/O, allocation) of the software
//      resource. The limits are designed as one of the levers
//      to manipulate and control the operation of the software
//      through managing software resources. The statistics
//      provide the operational parameters of the limits, performance
//      metrics and error information for performance and fault
//      management functions as well as management tasks like
//      monitoring, reporting or root cause analysis.
//      Some of the software resources (file, protocol endpoint
//      and database) are linked to existing classes since they
//      cannot share the same base class due to existing,
//      incompatible inheritance hierarchies and the fact that they
//      are concurrently viewed and controlled outside the software
//      by the OS. Thus, software resources are aspects of these
//      existing objects.
// 
//      They are maintained as a separate MOF file in the
//      Application Model.
// 
//      The object classes below are listed in an order that
//      avoids forward references. Required objects, defined
//      by other working groups, are omitted.

       "A Software Resource (SWR) is an abstraction of the utilization "
       "of other entities in the environment (communications, memory, "
       "files, etc.) within the context of the software entity being "
       "managed. SWR have a component-like implementation that is "
       "independently manageable from the real entity outside the "
       "software. These implementations are often used for storage and "
       "transmission. Thus, a Software Resource (SWR) is: \n"
       "a) any entity that is used by a system (e.g. an application "
       "system) to transfer data over space and time (i.e., no data "
       "processing in terms of creation/deletion or modification of "
       "data). In contrast to normal (application) services (i.e., the "
       "abstraction of data processing in terms of its "
       "creation/deletion etc.), the SWR has limits (bounds) that are "
       "not to be exceeded. This version does not consider resources "
       "like CPU. \n"
       "b) the system's view of such a transfer entity. Note that the "
       "software resource is ultimately contained by or related to a "
       "limited (physical or logical) resource of the encompassing "
       "(operating) system such as memory, storage or a communication "
       "links. \n"
       "Anything transferred by an SWR is called an 'item'. Items may "
       "be data, code, connections, packets, etc.. Items are atomic in "
       "the model, thus there is no partial items. \n"
       "An instance only exists if a running system exists since it is "
       "an internal component of the system implemented by its "
       "software. Software resources are potentially external entities "
       "like files viewed internally and (at least partially) "
       "controlled by the software of the system. \n"
       "SoftwareResource is contained by System via SystemComponent. "
       "At least one system (e.g., one application system or a system "
       "in general) contains 0 or more software resources. If more "
       "than one system claims to contain the software resource, it is "
       "a shared resource. \n"
       "SoftwareResource is associated to SWRLimitSetting via "
       "ElementSettingData. One software resource can have multiple "
       "limit settings. Only one of the settings is the default and "
       "one (potentially another one) is operational (current). "
       "Settings can be shared by software resources. \n"
       "SoftwareResource is associated to SWRStatistics via "
       "ElementStatisticalData. In general, one software resource is "
       "expected to have three statistics. The statistics type covers "
       "each behavior characteristics at most once. I.e., the software "
       "resource has at most one allocation statistcs, one input "
       "statistics and one output statistics. Nevertheless, the "
       "implementation of the software resource may exhibit more "
       "statistics SWRStatistics instances that cover more "
       "context-specific behavior characteristics.")]
