A matrix grammar approach for automatic distributed network resource management
Network resource management is critical to ensure the security and optimal performance of distributed networks and information systems. Existing technologies are not capable of managing large-scale network resources because of a lack of reusability and scalability. This paper presents a matrix grammar approach for automatic distributed network resource management to alleviate these problems. A matrix grammar is proposed using WMI, CIM, and SNMP to manage network resources, and provides a generic mechanism to describe what needs to be managed and how to manage it. A scalable distributed multi-agent architecture for automatic network resource management is proposed, at its core lies a management automation engine consisting of a matrix analyzer and a recipe processor. The proposed solution has been implemented in software and applied in industrial products that achieve good technical and industrial results. It has good extensibility, scalability, and enables network management automation and software reusability.
