Abstract

This paper presents an experiment of using a multi-agent system that improves the efficiency in network management on Unix environments. This system aims to decrease the financial damages occasioned by processing interruptions of the computational environment. The multi-agent system is based on a distributed and delegated management approach and it was developed using the GAIA methodology for analysis and design of agent-based systems. The agents architecture is based on activities and rule bases. The agents have lists of activities and apply their rule bases to accomplish them.
