Multi-Disciplinary Engineering (MDEng) environments involve a wide range of models, processes and tools that were not designed to cooperate together. The Ontology-Based Information Integration (OBII) approach has been proposed to address the integration issue within such environments. However, knowledge changes management and analysis (KCMA) process within the environment are not covered within...

The increasing need for rapid introduction of new services and highly customised service offerings poses additional management challenges for today's networks. In this paper we propose a flexible distributed management system based on role driven policies and active layer networking that addresses these demands. Management information is distributed via a hierarchy of Information Servers which ...
