Abstract

Network Management is essential for successful operation of any communications network. Due to the complexity of modern networks, their management requires application of artificial intelligence based techniques. Two essential aspects of any Network Management system are, a large volume of data, and rules applied to this data. Deductive database systems cater for both. In this paper we examine the suitability of deductive database systems for Network Management application. Fundamentals of Network Management as well as deductive database systems are given. We describe a prototype Network Management system built to test the suitability of deductive database systems for Network Management.
