Applying Web Services with Mobile Agents for Computer Network Management

On Applying Mobile Agents to Network Management

Integrating Intelligent Mobile Agents with Web Services

Research on Web services aims at extending the Web with computer-understandable descriptions enabling programs to interact and exploit Web-accessible programs without human intervention. Advances in this line of research will strongly benefit the fields of intelligent and mobile agents due to their potentials for building Web-enabled applications. In this paper, we describe a novel programming ...

Providing Customisable Network Management Services Through Mobile Agents

Telecommunications network management has attracted a lot of attention in terms of research and standardisation in the last decade. TMN and TINA architectural frameworks try to address the management needs of broadband networks and services. They both cater for multi-domain, multi-operator environments while they also allow for electronic customer access to management services. These services, ...

Web Services Management Network

We introduce the architecture, object model, components, and protocols of a management overlay for federated service management, called Web Services Management Network (WSMN). WSMN targets management of web services that interact across administrative domains, and therefore typically involves multiple stakeholders (examples are business-to-business, service provider interconnections, help desks...

Mobile agents for Web-based systems management

The increasing dimension and heterogeneity of global Web systems make harder their management with tools based on the client/server model. The Mobile Agent technology overcomes the limits of traditional approaches and proposes solutions that are suitable for the management of distributed and heterogeneous Internet-based systems. The paper describes the MAMAS environment and its implementation w...
