Chapter 6 A Knowledge-Based Monitoring Environment

In this chapter, we discuss the implementation of the models and methodologies discussed in Chapters 3-5 for monitoring of integrated networks. Speci cally, the implementation of monitoring schemes for MAGNET II in a software environment is discussed. A simulator for MAGNET II has been built and the appropriate state variables speci ed for monitoring. The implementation of the Knowledge Base for network resource managers has been studied. The experience gained from the implementation of the Knowledge Base for monitoring is mentioned. The in uence of the information and computation models for monitoring on the design of the network simulator is also discussed. A set of objects for statistical operators, such as histogram, auto-correlation, and cross-correlation, are also investigated.
