Rule-Driven Mobile Intelligent Agents for Real-Time Configuration of IP Networks

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 2773))

Abstract

Even though intelligent agent has proven itself to be a promising branch of artificial intelligence (AI), its mobility capacity has yet been paid enough attention to match the pervasive trend of networks. This paper proposes to inject intelligence into mobile agent of current literature by introducing rule-driven mobile agent so as to maintain both intelligence and mobility of current agent. Particularly, this methodology is fully exemplified in the context of real-time IP network configuration through intelligent mobile agent based network management architecture, policy specification language and policy information model. A case study for inter-domain IP VPN configuration demonstrates the design and implementation of this management system based on the test-bed developed in the context of European Union IST Project CONTEXT.
