Abstract :
A distributed knowledge-based system (KBS) designed to help computer network users and administrators use, manage, and maintain computer networks is described. The initial version of the system emphasizes the types of local area networks that are typically found in large industrial, governmental, or educational organizations. Knowledge used by the system is elicited from experts, generated from logical and physical network connectivity topology, and created by analyzing data gathered by simple network management protocol (SNMP) agents, system log agents, error message daemons, and interexpert system communication daemons. Knowledge is then shared by transferring chunks of knowledge between loosely coupled KBSs. Examples of knowledge sharing between KBSs are given.<>
