Abstract

Centralized approaches to Network Management have demonstrated a clear inadequacy for efficient management of large and heterogeneous computer networks. Considerable research is being carried out on decentralized approaches for network management. This paper presents the work on a practical application of Distributed Artificial Intelligence for computer network management. The objective is to implement a software platform using only Intelligent Autonomous Agents, integrated with the SNMP environment.
