“…In their work [9] on service composition applied to network management, Vianna et al show that service composition can indeed be realized by using traditional management technologies. The application of technologies created to support service composition will bring important advantages to the network management discipline.…”

Outsourcing -successful, and sometimes painful -has become one of the hottest topics in IT service management discussions over the past decade. IT services are outsourced to external service provider in order to reduce the effort required for and overhead of delivering these services within the own organization. More recently also IT services providers themselves started to either outsource service parts or to deliver those services in a non-hierarchical cooperation with other providers. Splitting a service into several service parts is a non-trivial task as they have to be implemented, operated, and maintained by different providers. One key aspect of such inter-organizational cooperation is fault management, because it is crucial to locate and solve problems, which reduce the quality of service, quickly and reliably. In this article we present the results of a thorough use case based requirements analysis for an architecture for inter-organizational fault management (ioFMA). Furthermore, a concept of the organizational respective functional model of the ioFMA is given.

“…To configure their equipments, they need to exchange faxes (or e-mails) containing the information necessary to forward the traffic between domains and to guarantee the QoS requirements. Moreover, the equipment configuration and the network management are done manually [1]. Such situations turn the inter-domain service management into a cumbersome and complex task.…”

QoS adaptation is an important process in inter-domain service mana g ement, since it can g uarantee the correct service provisionin g when unexpected events occur.However, in inter-domain environments, the human interference and the manual-based operations hamper the deployment of expeditious mechanisms to adapt the QoS of the services. This paper presents an approach based on SOA principles to perform QoS adaptation in these environments. This approach allows providers to determine the new QoS parameters, rene g otiate these parameters with other providers alon g the provisionin g path, update their contracts and enforce the chan g es in the equipment confi g uration in an automatic and on-demand fashion. The QoS adaptation process can be caused by technical (QoS violations, infrastructure malfunctions) or business (financial problems)issues. In addition, if a provider confi g uration in the provisionin g path already supports the new requirements, this provider is not affected by the adaptation, thus decreasin g the processin g time.

Architectures like the one proposed in [2] introduce a certain level of distribution, but the hierarchical topology remains fixed and high level nodes are still the bottleneck of the system.…”

Event handling is a management mechanism that provides means for the network to react on changes in the network conditions or performance. In the construction of a clean-slate management architecture, we consider this as a main building block. This paper proposes a fully distributed event distribution in a fully distributed environment: differently from existing works, no configuration is required in advance, and yet nodes have guarantee that events are delivered and that certain delivery objectives are respected. The contributions of this paper are: a generic system model for event handling and an analysis of event distribution mechanisms with respect to timeliness and traffic metrics. The paper describes and discusses in detail the results based on simulations and provides guidelines for management functions of the Future Internet.
