Supporting Views in Network Management Systems
Carlos Am. Palma · 2001
In network management systems, a view represents a subset of the management domain tailored to a specific activity or management role. The support for views is extremely relevant in large-scale management systems where it becomes infeasible to centralize all the management information. The paper proposes a model that recognizes the importance and provides support for the coexistence of different management views of a large set of entities. A prototype following the proposed model has been implemented as a set of extensions to the open source Scotty platform.
