Service Specification ABE

The <b>Service Specification ABE</b> contains entities that define the shared characteristics of both types of Service entities. This enables multiple instances to be derived from a single specification entity. In this derivation, each instance will use the characteristics defined in its associated specification.<br/>The Service Specification ABE is composed of two main concepts:<br/><ol>
<li>The CSP Know-Hows specification a.k.a. Customer Facing Services Specification or CFSSpec that describe only functional characteristics and capabilities that the CSP can provide to a customer however the CSP builds on its own all or part of the technical solution. Note that it corresponds only to non-tangible goods.</li><li>The Technical solution specification a.k.a. Resource Facing Services Specification or RFSpec that describes only technical characteristics and capabilities.</li></ol>
Entities in this ABE focus on adherence to standards, distinguishing features of a Service, dependencies (both physical and logical, as well as on other services), quality, and cost. In general, entities in this ABE enable Services to be bound to Products and run using Resources.<br/>
