Experimenting with the Application Scenarios: A knowledge-based Prototype System to Autonomously Support the Network Management Functions

摘要

Focus of our work is the elicitation of the communication network systems' knowledge in a generic and reusable manner, for the automated support to network management tasks. Key features of the proposed knowledge model are the: ontological representation of static domain-content; and management-expertise encoded as the core knowledge of distributed multi-agent architecture. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme, we have implemented an experimental network in our laboratory. This article illustrates a couple of test-cases for experimenting with the prototype system.
