A distributed resource model is described that maintains traits of resources in a distributed computing system. The traits include properties, commands, and events that, along with protocols operating in the distributed computing system, provide real-time access to the traits of resources in the distributed computing system, as well as real-time command of controls for the resources. Controllers manage and publish the traits of resources and provide various types of functionality, such as arbitration, complexity management, fan-out of capabilities, coordination, adaptation, and resource proxying.

Distributed resource model

A device common model interface is described that translates a schema describing a resource in a fabric network into a common object model and one or more target-specific data models, using a specification of a target application environment and a specification of a communication protocol. Elements of the schema that are useful for an application are extracted to generate the common object model and the one or more target-specific data models are provided to the application. The application interacts with an interface of the resource using the API of the target-specific data model, which performs operations that are specific to communicating with the resource in the target application environment and using the communication protocol.
