ABSTRACT:
First and second applications having disparate concrete configuration models are integrated into a unified abstract model wherein configuration elements and associated element values are used to control configurable functions of the first and second application programs, respectively, and wherein the second configuration element has a similar configuration function as the first configuration element; using a first equivalence definition reflecting a functional relationship between the first application configuration element and an abstract model configuration element having the similar configuration function, wherein the abstract model configuration is application-independent and platform-independent; using a second equivalence definition reflecting a functional relationship between the second application program configuration element and the abstract model configuration element; and producing and associating a second configuration element value with the second application configuration element wherein the second application program is automatically configured according to the second concrete application configuration model.
