[Uarch] processing model

Title: [Uarch] processing model

I promised to start the Processing Model and Interaction Patterns section in Uarch, and so here is the first part -- the Processing Model. The diagram is attached and the words are as follows.

"
The compliant implementations of the roles defined in the logical model act according to the following basic processing rules:

#1: Manageability consumer and manageability provider have to understand information model in which semantics of a manageability capability is described. For example, it could be a UML model that expresses a group of properties, operations, events and metadata. Meaning of what model defines has to be equally understood by both parties.

#2: Manageability consumer exerts control over and obtains information about the manageable resource by exchanging messages with one or more manageability endpoints that provide access to the manageable resource.

#3: Manageability consumer has to be able to obtain the description of the manageability service, its endpoints and necessary manageability interfaces. Manageability provider has to be able to obtain description of the manageability interfaces for the capabilities it wants to support.

#4: Manageability consumer and manageability provider both have to equally understand how to establish which manageability interface corresponds to which manageability capability and vice versa.

#5: Manageability consumer establishes which capabilities are supported by the manageable resource either from the description of the manageability service or by exchanging messages with the manageability endpoint.

#6: Manageability consumer discovers necessary manageable resources by discovering manageable endpoints, reading their descriptions and exchanging messages as required. Manageability provider advertizes/registers available manageability endpoints.
