Application of mobile components for robust network management

Abstract

The dependence on networking for communication and information exchange in real-time conditions is extensive and very important. Ensuring the operability and availability of these networks is a challenge for most network managers. We address the growing demands from network management systems as the complexity of network services increase with the arrival of new technologies. This work illustrates a novel scheme where management systems can be built from a set of independent components to address specific functional areas. These functional components can be distributed and also migrated to address management needs in adverse conditions.
