1. A method of managing a computing network, the method comprising: representing at least a portion of the computing network as a recursive architecture of elements representing bit transport, bit transformation and bit storage actions of the network, wherein the recursive architecture models elements in the computing network to abstract the actions therein in an information model that models the bit transport, bit transformation and bit storage actions of different network elements in the computing network recursively as data objects in a unified manner to represent networking, computing and storage actions together in the information model, and wherein the recursive architecture models the bit transport actions within a layer via subnetworks and links and between layers via adaptation and termination functions for bit transport and via a Universal Turing Machine which models bit transformation for the computing action as an input, an action on the input, and an output; associating a respective set of one or more elements with at least one system implementing functions of the portion of the computing network; and using the information model of the recursive architecture of elements to manage the at least one system implementing functions of the portion of the computing network, wherein the information model is based on ITU-T Recommendation G.800 and the management of the computing and storage actions is provided via the information model along with the management of the networking actions.
