Knowledge delivery mechanism for autonomic overlay network management
Dominic Jones, John Keeney, David D. Lewis, Declan O’Sullivan · 2009
The complexity of current computing networks and the required fluidity of their operation requires autonomy to be central to the design and implementation of a managed overlay network. This paper presents a system in which a Knowledge-based Network (KBN) is used as the delivery mechanism for management information. This allows multiple autonomous managers to co-exist, playing separate roles in the management of multiple parallel overlay networks using a single dynamic and flexible knowledge delivery mechanism. 1.
