    An Automated, Distributed, Intelligent Fault Management System for Communication Networks
    (1999) Li, Hongjun; Baras, John S.; Mykoniatis, George; ISR; CSHCN
    In this paper we present a Distributed Intelligent Fault Management (DIFM) system for communication networks. The overall architecture of the proposed system is based on a distributed, cooperative, multi-agent paradigm, with probabilistic networks as the framework for knowledge representation and evidence inferencing. We adopt the management by delegation paradigm for network monitoring and integrate both hard and soft faults.

    Delay Monitoring in ATM Networks
    (1999) Arora, Anubhav; Baras, John S.; Mykoniatis, George; Baras, John S.; ISR; CSHCN
    ATM networks provide end-to-end QoS guarantees to connectionsfor their lifetime, in the form of bounds on delays, errors andlosses. Performance management involves measurement of theseparameters accurately and taking control measures if required, toimprove performance. This is very important for real time connectionsin which losses are irrecoverable and delays cause interruptions inservice. In this paper, we concentrate on delay monitoringmechanisms. After presenting the OAM standard for ATM and a fewsolutions in the literature, problems still remaining are formulatedand directions being pursued to obtain solutions are indicated.
