“…Policies aim to separate decision making from processes of data gathering and execution. Extensive research has been conducted on IT management policies [13][14][15][16][17]. Policy frameworks allow the separation of concern and the isolation of decision making removing some complexity.…”

HP Laboratories HPL-2011-244 integrated management; management automation; control system; supervisory control; data center energy efficiency Saving energy in large data centers has become a focus of research and development. For its realization, IT and facility control systems must be connected and coordinate their activities. Building such an integrated management system that operates automatically and reliably is a challenging task. The paper describes such a system that has been built in the HP Labs Palo Alto research data center. We discuss a particular aspect of such a system: how the integration logic of the various management and control systems can be designed more systematically, referring to a theoretic framework of supervisory control that had been developed for industrial automation in the late 1990's. We adopt the framework for constructing a set of coordinated controllers that are performing a set of desired management tasks.

Today's complex IT infrastructures require an integrated management of networking devices, end systems, and applications. A necessary prerequisite are management models for resources that are generally applicable and useful even in environments that rely on different management architectures. The paper describes a novel approach to management models for (distributed) applications which meets these needs. The approach is based on concepts taken from the ODP viewpoint languages. It is applicable to a wide range of applications and independent of specifics of existing management architectures. This independence is very important as implementors of management systems gain the opportunity of choosing between at least three different management architectures.In this paper, the different phases of our approach are depicted: Starting from conceptual modeling, we show how the design of the model can be enhanced by using CASE-tools for refining the object classes. Furthermore, we describe a way to transform this model into concrete CORBA objects. This is demonstrated by means of a concrete example, namely a transaction processing monitor. Finally, it is shown how the implementation of the model fits into an integrated management environment spanning different management architectures.

“…Constraints are also used to describe connectivity and containment relationships for the network configuration model. The description language presented in (Pell et al 1995) is centered around the constraint concept. It supports network fault management through the means of checking all the constraints that define the characteristics of a particular network resource.…”

Today's network management applications mainly collect and display information, while providing limited information processing and problem-solving capabilities. A number of different knowledge-based approaches have been proposed to correct this deficiency, evolving from rule-based systems through case-based systems, to more recent model-based systems. Part of this evolution has been the recognition of the importance of constraints in a management context. This makes possible the assimilation into network management of a mature, theoretically developed technology from artificial intelligence, namely, the constraint satisfaction problem {CSP). In this paper we investigate the role of constraints in manipulating management data, and give an example of the use of the constraint satisfaction framework in diagnosing problems arising with Internet domain name service configurations. We also present ADNET, a system for automatically constructing C++ diagnostic programs from a model written in a simple modeling language.
