Application of Expert Systems to Network Management.

摘要

The objectives of the study were to identify the network management problem which has the most potential for being solved by the use of an expert system and to determine the feasibility of developing such a system. Five major application areas were identified: (1) real-time network control and monitoring; (2) network diagnostics; (3) network capacity planning; (4) network security monitoring; and (5) configuration management. Researchers examined the feasibility and reviewed on-going research for each of 14 possible expert system applications. It was concluded that the most feasible expert system application for possible commercial development at this time is a system for protocol diagnostics.
