Several network management frameworks have been specified during the last two decades by various standardization bodies and fora, like IETF, 3GPP, DMTF, ITU, all trying to specify interfaces, protocols and information models by taking into consideration the respective network infrastructure i.e., telecom world, internet and cellular communications. The current challenge for the network manageme...

Policies, which usually govern the behaviour of networking services (e.g., security, QoS, mobility, etc.), are becoming an increasingly popular approach for the dynamic regulation of web information systems. The adoption of a policy-based approach for controlling a system requires an appropriate policy representation regarding both syntax and semantics, and the design and development of a polic...

Policy based management have gained a crescent importance in the two last years. New demands on internetworking, on services specification, on QoS achievement and generically on network management functionality, have driven this paradigm to a very important level. The main idea is to provide services that allow specifying management and operational rules in the same way people do business. Desp...

For QoS guaranteed DiffServ-over-MPLS connection provisioning in multi-domain networks, the managed objects in each domain should be globally standardized and publicly accessible by other NMSs. And each NMS participating in the inter-domain networking should negotiate with other NMSs for end-to-end service provisioning. In this paper, we propose SLA negotiation by COPS protocol and design the m...

Due to the massive deployment of the internet and intranet-based services there is a need to consolidate management data generated by heterogeneous sources and to provide an end-to-end service & business level view of IT resources. Because of this the need for a standard enterprise management framework is more acute than ever before. There are currently two major internet-based proposals which ...

The aim of this study was to determine a difference between children with cerebral palsy (CP) and healthy children, regarding health condition of teeth and oral tissuses. Disfunction of masticatory system, in children with CP, causes many problems with mastication. Nonfunctional mastication is related with the consumption of mushy food and decreased selfcleaning of occlusal and aproximal surfac...

ions utilized over configuration parameters Each deployment of the SAN configuration middleware will see a different underlying SAN infrastructure (i.e. the myriad different data centres of different cloud providers), each with its own custom set of configuration parameters. Transporting these data to and from the best practice repository will require the use of an abstract data format for SAN ...

There has been proposed the adaptive resource sharing model for the DiffServ architecture, which is based on the WFQ service policy [4]. This model has parameters that affect the way customers are served and the QoS requirements are provided. Since the proposed model is to be implemented within a switching equipment the problem of its efficient configuring arises. On the one hand, it is possibl...
