Management Architecture and Solutions for French Tactical Systems
Cottignies, Vincent · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 2006
This paper introduces some basic notions of System Management, including Short and Long Loop activities for planning, configuration and monitoring of Systems. Then, given the limitations of existing Management System Architecture, an innovative design based on Management Brokers (MB) is presented. Completed with Policy-Based Management (PBM) approach, classical Management Architectures should then be able to evolve into the direction of Automatic Reconfiguration Management (ARM), with different possible steps to take into account further integration of automatic management processes into a so called System Control Plane. In the second part, we describe the main principles of the French Tactical System SIC Terre and state the position of its Management System compared to the advanced Management Architecture analysed in the previous sections.
