Abstract

Today’s network management is still dominated by the platform-centered paradigm based on Client/Server technologies. This centralized approach has drawbacks in scalability, reliability, efficiency and flexibility, and is unsuitable for large and hetero-generous networks. Mobile Agent-based technologies represent an opportunity to solve some of those problems. In this paper a new Web- and Mobile Agents-based network management framework is proposed and the results of a prototype implementation are discussed.
