Abstract

Effective management of battlefield networks requires a hierarchical network management architecture wherein managers can dynamically delegate management tasks to intermediate managers. We describe a novel framework called SHAMAN-Spreadsheet-based Hierarchical Architecture for Management-which extends the traditional flat SNMP management model to a hierarchical architecture. We describe in detail the scripting language and event model used by SHAMAN, and illustrate its use by an example of location management in a tactical battlefield scenario, which has been implemented by us
