Patent abstract

A configuration management system for use with a P2P CE network includes a configuration management language (CML) describing devices and functions of a NetCE Environment. A P2P configuration monitor uses a P2P presence service to monitor current presence of devices in the CE Network. A configuration management mechanism takes as input a model of a target function or functions and, using the CML, finds a mapping between the function or functions and present devices in the CE Network, as reported by the configuration monitor.
