1. A method for generating automated mappings of service demands to server capacities in a distributed computer system, including a plurality of server and service nodes, the method comprising the steps of: establishing at least one server model layer, said at least one server model layer including a set of server attribute values associated with the plurality of server nodes; establishing at least one service model layer, said at least one service model layer including a set of service attribute values associated with the plurality of service nodes; normalizing each set of server attribute values and service attribute values; and generating a mapping of service nodes onto server nodes, using the normalized capacity attribute values and normalized demand attribute values.
