A computer network management system presents one manager and several agents. The management of large networks demands much computer resources and management system capacity, impossible to achieve with just one manager. The TMN standard, that intends to standardize management systems for telecommunication networks offering those resources, already foresees the use of several managers organized ...

This work presents an alternative to the centralized approach of computer network management. In network management platforms, we usually find passive managers and the agents who just have the function of collecting data samples composing the environment. They have no autonomy and the network administrator must reach a decision. This work investigates what is the most suitable Artificial Intell...

This paper discusses the various types of malicious software, particularly computer viruses, which threaten computer network dependability, including such attributes as reliability, availability, safety and security of computer systems. Quantitative risk assessment of computer virus attacks on computer networks is investigated. To this end, an analytical model to study computer virus propagatio...

honeypot is a security device the value of which lies mainly in discovering and inspecting, being attacked and being at risk. most of the present honeypots are configured and installed on the network statically. in some cases considerations have been made on dynamic configuration of honeypots at the time of installation but still no study have been carried out on how to instantaneously change t...

Mobile nodes that change their connection point dynamically, are deployed in networks for communication with aircraft, boats, trains and cars. These mobile nodes move together and share the same mobility properties. This paper addresses an efficient location management scheme based on collaboration of mobile nodes to a mobile network. In our proposed scheme, we address the efficient location ma...

The type or class of an object is not always sufficient to decide on its runtime behaviour. In many cases, the context of the object is also important. Environmental acquisition is a concept to handle context in information models. We explore the use of environmental acquisition for the management of computer network configuration and for network simulation. Physical location or subnet membersh...
