Deployment descriptor files are generated for automation of installation and integration of computing system solution components by associating configurable behavioral models with a system solution design, configuring instantiations of the models to contain behavioral parameters, and, responsive to a user defining a connection between two model instances, displaying an intelligence form according to an expertise level of the user, receiving user inputs establishing configuration and option parameters for the connected model instances, saving the configuration and option parameters in a sub-template that defines the interface between the model instances in the system solution design, generating deployment descriptors by extracting the behavioral and configuration parameters from each sub-template, and packaging the configured behavioral model instances and deployment descriptor files into an application package for automatic deployment.
