On the standardization of Web services in network management

Abstract

These days, Web services, which are based on XML and consist of several XML-related technologies, have been emerging as a promising technology, and it seems that Web services may be used in the field of network management. This paper focuses on the standardization of network monitoring operations from the Semantic Web services' point of view. During this course, we especially take into account the problems about parameter transmission and operation granularity, and present the considerations about these problems in detail.
