Applying Fuzzy Computing Methods for On-line Monitoring of New Generation Network Elements

摘要

New generation networks belong to the class of big sophisticated heterogeneous hierarchical geographically distributed systems. Their functional characteristics, defining reliability, are the main characteristics which provide the application of these networks for their intended purpose. The paper offers the method of on-line functional monitoring of technical states of the new generation network elements based on application of a hierarchical fuzzy logical inference. The method and the generalized algorithm of on-line functional monitoring of technical states are developed. For realization of the offered method, the technology of intelligent agents is used. The functional structure of the intelligent agent is offered. The order of its interaction with a network element is considered. Results of modeling have shown a high efficiency of the offered approach. The possibility of the hardware-software realization of the offered method and algorithm a near real time mode is shown.
