Abstract: For incarnating the Web as the dominant application style of the Internet， the Web itself is becoming an unlimited platform for almost all business in the Internet. Such a phenomenon is called Web as the platform， which brings opportunities and challenges to information technology. In this position paper， the management issue of the Web， one of the key technical challenges of the Web as the platform， is explored. At first， the management requirements induced by the features of the Web are summarized. Then， the “Management as a Service” is proposed as a solution to the Web management issue. Followed by identified technical challenges， the PKUAS service-oriented management is introduced as a case study to illustrate how to make “Management as a Service” feasible.

摘要： Internet上越来越多的应用都具有Web风格，Web本身正逐步成为Internet上各类应用的运行平台， 这种现象可称为“Web平台化”，“Web平台化”为信息技术的发展带来机遇和挑战。文章立足于探讨“Web平台化”所面临的关键技术挑战之一，即Web管理。首先从Web的特征出发，总结其对Web管理的要求；其次提出将“管理服务化”作为Web管理的解决方案，并指出“管理服务化”面临的技术挑战；最后以PKUAS支持的面向服务的管理为例展示“管理服务化”的可行性。
