Abstract

In addition to the control and supervision of components and connections, network management middlewares are required to enhance reliability and efficiency of distributed systems. In this paper, we describe a modular and distributed middleware architecture aimed at high-level dynamic network management. The proposed approach uses swarm-intelligence at the monitoring level to provide self-organization, adaptability, scalability and reactivity features. Resource management is performed by a multi-agent based layer. Knowledge exchange between the monitoring and management layers is mediated by a datawarehouse. The model is evaluated through a case study for grid computing.
