association CIM_SoftwareFeatureServiceImplementation : CIM_Dependency

Description:

An association between a Service and how it is implemented in software. The cardinality of this association is many-to -many. A Service may be provided by more than one SoftwareFeature. When multiple SoftwareFeatures are associated with a single Service, it is assumed that these elements operate in conjunction to provide the Service. Note that any SoftwareFeature may provide more than one Service. If different implementations of a Service exist, each of these implementations would result in individual instantiations of the Service object. These individual instantiations would then have their own associations to the unique implementations.
