Abstract
As the size and complexity of information systems increase organisations need to rely on integrated management systems to an even greater extent to ensure that users’ requirements of information systems are met. Management policies have been identified as a mechanism by which changing user requirements can be captured and introduced into management systems in order to modify the behaviour of managed systems. This paper refers to systems which allow policies to be stated explicitly with the purpose of modification of management system structure and behaviour as policy driven management systems. This paper sets the scene and shows the way towards policy driven systems management.
