Is the attached drawing correct? It's supposed to be an Autonomic Function
implemented across three Autonomic Nodes X, Y and Z containing a total of
four ASAs managing two different technical objectives A and B.

(If anyone wants to fire back a corrected version I have attached the PPT
as well as the PDF.)
