Computer network management is an area that demands lots of work and lacks tools and professionals qualified to the management of the most diverse administration domains. In this context, this work describes the project and development of an integrated, dynamic and automated system that is able to simplify and reduce the time needed for many daily tasks of network administrators. The initial re...

In the conventional IP network, equipment has been managed by periodical SNMP polling and periodical ping by a network management system (NMS), and traps have been used when abnormalities occur. But it is difficult to operate a service related to network state changes by such a management method because IP network services are best-effort services, so they may be affected by other multiplexed t...

Abstract: BRAN/WLAN systems, e.g., HIPERLAN/2, IEEE802.11a, etc., are seen as a promising solution for covering residential, business, transport, tourism, etc., environments, and generally areas of high demand, characterized as “hot spots”. This paper presents management functionality for augmenting the potential exploitation of one of these systems, HIPERLAN/2, by making feasible their (loose ...

Future networks require the use of sophisticated tools that will simplify the management and control of complex infrastructures and services by minimizing the burden of human presence and manual operation. Autonomic Network Management (ANM) on the one hand and Software Defined Networking (SDN) on the other hand, have appeared with the promise to meet these challenges and enhance the efficiency ...
