Abstract

Document-Based Integrated Management (DBIM) is a novel way of consolidating enterprise network and system management. We present an approach to DBIM that utilizes the autonomic capabilities of a set of distributed Document Processing Units (DPU), which constitute a document processing plane within the enterprise network. Our approach is explained in detail using a scenario from the performance and fault management domain. We also explore the connection of DBIM with current research topics in the autonomic systems field, and the relationships to other popular integrated management approaches, like Policy-Based Management (PBM), Active Networks, Agent-based Network Management, or Web Service (WS) Management.
