“…Achieving a clean XML structure makes the conversion algorithm more complicated compared to most other approaches that are more destined to a 1:1 SMI mapping and look more like an 'XML-ified SMI'. The most notable of these other approaches known to the authors are those from Mazumdar [6], from Hong et al [7,8], and from Martin-Flatin [4]. Some major aspects of these approaches are compared in Table 1.…”

XML-based network management systems become more and more popular these days. However, it has to be taken into account that there is a broad existing management infrastructure which is based on non-XML protocols. Today, the most dominant technology in Internet management is based on the SNMP framework.This article presents an approach for a seamless integration of management information supplied by SNMP agents into XML-based systems. This is done by an automated transformation of SMI MIB definitions into XML Schema definitions, which implies a corresponding transformation of SNMP management information into XML documents. Furthermore, we present an SNMPto-XML gateway that allows to retrieve such XML management information at runtime.

“…One important type of XPath expression is a location path, which selects a set of nodes relative to the context node, and can recursively contain sub -expressions that are used to filter a set of nodes. For example, "/" selects the document root and "./hostInfo [1]" selects the first "hostInfo" child of the context node, and device[@type="server"] selects all the "device" descendants of the document root that have a "type" attribute with a value "server".…”

“…In our previous work on the XML/SNMP Gateway, we defined an SNMP MIB to XML translation algorithm, and also implemented an automatic SNMP MIB to XML translator using this algorithm [1]. For validation of the algorithm, we had implemented an XML-based SNMP MIB browser using this SNMP MIB to XML Translator.…”

XML-based network management has been proposed as an alternative or to complement SNMPbased network management. But the XML-based network management does not yet provide a method to manage networks equipped with legacy SNMP agents in the integrated management system. This integrated manage ment system must include an XML/SNMP gateway, which translates and relays messages between the XML -based manager and the SNMP agent. The gateway must provide both specification translation and interaction translation between the two management applications. In this paper, we propose three methods for interaction translation in the gateway. First, we propose a DOM-based translation, which provides a method for XML-based manager to directly access management information through the standard DOM interfaces. Second, we propose a URI extension based translation using XPath and XQuery, which provides a method to define detailed request message for XML/HTTP communication. Finally, we apply the SOAP, which is accepted as a standard protocol for XML, and propose a translation method for the gateway to advertise the translation services to the manager using the SOAP RPC. We also compare the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed translation methods.

“…Also, there are several works that use XML to represent machine configurations, like the ones by Strauss and Klie [7], and Yoon et al [8], both mapping SNMP to XML. The drawback is that SNMP has a very flat structure that does not represent aspects like associations as flexibly as CIM [9].…”

Abstract. Windows and Unix systems have been traditionally very different with regard to configuration storage and management. In this paper we have adapted our CIM-based model-driven management framework, AdCIM, to extract, integrate and modify management and configuration information from both types of OS in a multiplatform and seamless way. We have achieved very low latencies and client footprints without sacrificing the model-driven approach. To enable this functionality for a wide range of system administration applications, we have implemented both an efficient CIM XML dialect and a distributed object infrastructure, and we have assessed its performance using two different approaches: CORBA and Web Services.
