Method and system for states of beings configuration management

A method for configuration management comprising:

• identifying a proposed change to one of a deployed state of being and a designed state of being;
• generating three dimensional models for the deployed state of being and the designed state of being;
• generating a three dimensional model of a pending state of being, the pending state of being model reflecting the proposed change;
• identifying and associating change dependent attributes with the deployed state of being model, the designed state of being model, and the pending state of being model;
• and
• controlling the changing of the attributes, based on the proposed change, of two of the deployed state of being model, the designed state of being model, and the pending state of being model based on the attributes of one of the deployed state of being model, the designed state of being model, and the pending state of being model using a configuration management application,
• wherein the models may be displayed, manipulated, and compared on a display.

A method for network configuration management comprising:

• receiving at least one change request related to at least one configuration item in at least one of the designed network configuration and the deployed network configuration;
• identifying configuration items in a designed network configuration and in a deployed network configuration, each configuration item having at least one attribute;
• identifying change dependent attributes for each configuration item;
• and
• managing incorporation of changes to at least one of the designed network and the deployed network using a change control process.
