Intelligent Integrated Management for Telecommunication Networks

As the size of communication networks keeps on growing, faster connections, cooperating technologies and the divergence of equipment and data communications, the management of the resulting networks gets additional important and time-critical. More advanced tools are needed to support this activity. In this paper the authors describe the design and implementation of a management platform using Artificial Intelligent reasoning technique. For this goal they make use of an expert system. This study focuses on an intelligent framework and a language for formalizing knowledge management descriptions and combining them with existing OSI management model. They propose a new paradigm where the intelligent network management is integrated into the conceptual repository of management information called Managed Information Base (MIB).
