Today's network management applications mainly collect and display information, while providing limited information processing and problem-solving capabilities. A number of diierent knowledge-based approaches have been proposed to correct this deeciency, evolving from rule-based systems through case-based systems, to more recent model-based systems. Part of this evolution has been the recogniti...
