The DASH suite of specifications defines the interfaces for management in the form of 40 protocols and profiles for representing mobile and desktop hardware. 41 This document is an architectural white paper and describes the concepts used in managing mobile and 42 desktop platforms which adhere to the DASH Implementation Requirements [2]. 43 Acknowledgments 44 The following persons were instrumental in the development of this white paper: 45 Bob Blair – AMD, Jon Hass – Dell, Jeff Hilland – HP, David Hines, - Intel, Hemal Shah - Broadcom.
