Abstract :
This paper investigates the potential of adding autonomic capabilities to the telecommunications fault management architecture and highlights the importance of a reflex-healing dual strategy to facilitate this advanced automation. The reflex reaction is facilitated through the concept of a pulse monitor - essentially the extension of the fault tolerant heartbeat monitor mechanism to incorporate reflex urgency levels and health check summary information.
