“…Network dependency relationships are encoded as rules. MADEIRA [10] introduced a distributed architecture for dynamic devices management. The use of a dynamic hierarchy allows the system to adapt to network failures and state changes, something that is considered essential for future large scale networks which must exhibit adaptive, decentralized control behaviors.…”

Network Management faces major challenges nowadays. Management applications have not kept the changing pace of networks and services and still rely on centralized approaches. Moreover, uncertainty is part of the reality. This paper presents a lightweight collaborative approach to network troubleshooting, based in multi agents and probabilistic techniques. The proposed architecture has been applied to three different network environments.

The Madeira project investigates the application of peer-to-peer technologies to distributed network management. It allows network elements to self-configure and self-heal by autonomously performing management tasks in cooperation with other peers. Madeira features a NorthBound Interface that enables communications with external systems. The Madeira NorthBound Interface uses Web Services technology provided by the Apache Pubscribe toolkit. It has been successfully assessed by means of specific tests and experiments verifying all functional requirements. Non functional aspects such as reliability, robustness, security, scalability and dependability have also been validated with quite satisfactory results. XML parsing has been found to represent the main limit to scalability. Several approaches to further improve the dependability of the interface are proposed in the paper.

Autonomic network management is a vision that brings autonomic computing principles to network management. In this vision, the use of policies is a key aspect. Besides, it is necessary to add some level of decentralization to enable broad autonomic capabilities. Thus, the elements that build decentralized autonomic network management systems (known as autonomic management elements) must be policy-enabled. However, the consistency of policy states among autonomic management elements is an important challenge. Traditional mechanisms to maintain consistency of these states are supported by some centralization which wastes some desirable properties of decentralization. In contrast to these mechanisms, we propose a distributed, scalable and robust mechanism to maintain the consistency of policy states. In this paper we introduce multiagent truth maintenance features in decentralized autonomic network management as a mechanism to bring consistency maintenance of policy states. We developed a model of a decentralized autonomic network management system on Peersim to perform simulation experiments. Besides, the utilization of policies in P2Pbased autonomic network management systems is presented as case study.
