Abstract: 
Successful realization of the Grid vision of a broadly applicable and
adopted framework for distributed system integration, virtualization,
and management requires the support for configuring Web services,
their deployment, and maintaining their lifecycle management. This
document, produced by the CDDLM working group within the Global Grid
Forum (GGF), provides a high level overview of the CDDLM space by
describing requirements, analyzing use cases, and by providing an
overview of the related work within GGF, other standard bodies, as
well as in industry and academia in general. The document sets the
stage for the follow-up documents that will present in more detail the
language, component model, and basic CDDLM services.
