Abstract

A preliminary network management prototype that is based on the cooperation of two components is described. A network monitoring and control system (NMCS), which uses advanced database management, graphics and man/machine interface techniques, is used for data collection and status evaluation. A rule-based expert system uses its acquired expert knowledge to recommend appropriate control actions to alleviate the effects of network stresses detected by the NMCS. Preliminary results demonstrate the validity of the proposed concept
