Service Modeling Language - insight and other views

SMLDiscTechRef Spells Step-By-Step Reference Guides for SML Models ... to someone ...

Reference documents have been recently published by Microsoft to provide examples, how-to details, and technical guidelines for model-based configuration management.

These technical reference guides and step-by-step best-practices documents are based on Service Modeling Language (SML), the work-in-progress standards-based (XML) language model-based configuration management.

The documents include:
