A Mobile Agent Manager

چکیده
Friendliness on user interfaces has been mostly forgot in mobile agent research. In fact the multitude of problems that have to be solved have left this more “simple” piece of the package out of target. However, the success of technology comes also from this important layer in the product development. This paper describes an application that integrates monitoring data from the mobile agents environment, process and presents information in different ways according to different user requirements and allows the user to remotely control mobile agents entities.

متن کاملEnabling a Mobile Network Manager (MNM) Through Mobile Agents
Network management comprises of monitoring and control of a network. Ideally a network management system should be able to provide the facility of managing the network from any site and from any system and network. However the present network management systems are centralized and tied to particular systems. We introduce the unique concept of a Mobile Network Manager (MNM) to provide network ad...
متن کاملDomain-partitioned element management systems employing mobile agents for distributed network management
Network management systems based on mobile agents are efficiently a better alternative than typical client/server based architectures. Centralized management models like SNMP or CMIP based management models suffer from scalability and flexibility issues which are addressed to great extent by flat bed or static mid-level manager models based on mobile agents, yet the use of mobile agents to dist...
متن کاملImplementing a highly scalable and adaptive agent-based management framework
This paper introduces the concept of dynamic hierarchical management, enabled by Mobile Agent (MA) technology. The proposed framework addresses the scalability limitations of the centralised paradigm and the poor flexibility of static hierarchical management architectures to changing networking conditions. The increased adaptability of our framework is enabled by a novel management entity, term...
متن کاملHierarchical network management: a scalable and dynamic mobile agent-based approach
Several distributed management architectures, incorporating mobile agent technology, have been recently proposed to answer the scalability limitations of centralised models and the flexibility problems of static hierarchical frameworks. Yet, although agent-based management frameworks have recently started evolving from the early ‘flat’ models to hierarchical structures, they cannot efficiently ...
