Abstract :
Network management based on intelligent agent is motivated by the development of distributed network management. This work provides a multiagent based network management framework, which presents multiagent collaboration environment. In the framework established We propose a task decomposition module to decompose network management tasks into several parallel network management subtasks, and then provide multiagent cooperation methods for multiagent system considering the characteristic of network management function. Decreasing tasks execution time and agent migration times is the aim of the method proposed in this paper.
