Physical configuration information stored in the physical configuration storage unit () indicates physical configuration elements of an information processing system and a connection relationship between the physical configuration elements. Virtual configuration information stored in a virtual configuration storage unit () indicates virtual configuration elements of a virtual system and a connection relationship between the virtual configuration elements. Here, the virtual system is a system that is functionally equivalent to the information processing system to be managed. Process configuration information stored in a process configuration storage unit () indicates process configuration elements of a process performed in the information processing system and a connection relationship between the process configuration elements. First correspondence information stored in a correspondence information storage unit () indicates a correspondence relationship between the physical configuration elements and the virtual configuration elements, and the second correspondence information indicates a correspondence relationship between the process configuration elements and the virtual configuration elements.

System structure management device, system structure management method, and program

An objective of the disclosed invention is to derive a more apt similarity by taking into account all components up to and including lower order components that are included in a model. The disclosed invention also allows carrying out more efficient information system building. An information processing device () includes a model storage unit (), a component correspondence determination unit (), and a similarity computation unit (). The model storage unit () there among stores a system model that includes at least one component. The component correspondence determination unit () determines a correspondence relationship between components included in two system models (A, B) that are read out from the model storage unit (), on the basis of commonality of lower order components included in the components. The similarity computation unit () calculates the similarity of the two system models on the basis of the correspondence relationship between the components that is determined with the component correspondence determination unit ().
