Abstract :
Expert systems are discussed as the next major evolutionary step in network management. Specific examples are presented that demonstrate the benefits of increased programmer productivity, automating network operations, and identifying and diagnosing network problems. Internal structures are discussed. An expert system, functioning in a live environment, that can learn from experience and modify its behavior is presented. Current technological problems in implementation are reviewed and proposed solutions are given
