Bionic Buffalo Tech Note #56
Asset Assignment Model
Abstract
Various kinds of assets, such as bandwidth, memory, and time, must be allocated and assigned to users
as part of the operation of various kinds of applications. The Asset Assignment Model (AAM) describes
the entities and actions involved in acquiring, providing, and controlling the use of these assets. Defined
and described in UML and IDL, AAM can be used as a general underlying model for specialized
applications such as content delivery systems, operating systems, collaborative development
environments, and distributed computing environments.
This Tech Note briefly describes AAM, and also provides some contrast with complementary and
alternative models.
