Abstract :
The MoDPAI tool was built because of the increasing decentralization of computational resources and the need for distributed and heterogeneous management systems. MoDPAI stands for the Portuguese phrase "monitoramento de dispositivos utilizando computacao pervasiva e agentes de software inteligentes". Its main goal is to assist network administrators in a great part of their tasks through automatic monitoring of devices. Combining the ideas of pervasive computing and software agents, this work presents a tool for monitoring devices distributed in a network and guided by a well-defined strategy. The tool uses intelligent software agents as the main monitoring mechanism.
