Network Management using Multi-Agents System

A Multi-agents System for Network Security Management

The openness of business toward telecommunication networks in general and Internet in particular is performed at the prize of high security risks. Every professional knows that the only way to secure completely a private network is to make it unreachable. However, even if this solution was undertaken for many years, nowadays it is not possible to close private network especially for business pu...

A Network Management Framework Using Mobile Agents

Network management of heterogeneous networks is still hard to achieve automatically and efficiently. In this study, we present a framework that has the ability to perform network management tasks on heterogeneous networks using mobile agents. This framework handles the inability of many network devices to run mobile agents. While the main focus of the project is the framework, we present an exa...

Enhancing Network Management using Mobile Agents

Agent mobility addresses some limitations faced by classic client/server architecture, namely, in minimising bandwidth consumption, in supporting adaptive network load balancing and in solving problems caused by intermittent or unreliable network connections. There has been a great deal of attention on the potential productivity gains expected from so-called intelligent agents. These however re...

Using mobile agents for network performance management

Mobile agent frameworks have attracted a lot of attention in recent years, seen as counterparts of static distributed object frameworks but allowing also for object or agent mobility. A lot of research is currently being carried out trying to assess their applicability to network management and control environments. In this paper, we present our experiences of using a mobile agent framework to ...
