Abstract

A high-level approach in network management ispresented in this paper. The approach is based on a newnetwork management model, named the K-model, and anetwork management specification language, named K30.This research has identified and defined two basic unitsof management behavior, from which complex behavior ofmanagement systems can be composed using the concepts ofwell-regarded theories of concurrent systems. Thisapproach formalizes network management semantics andalgorithms, and provides a system of formalspecification for network management.
