An ontology-based approach to improve SNMP support for autonomic management

Abstract

The SNMP protocol remains a broadly adopted technology in the Internet management framework and its MIB was proposed to guarantee interoperation. In order to enable the management of new equipment, the human manager must compile the correlated MIB file (MIB description) and choose the right objects to manage an implicit knowledge. This paper presents an ontology-based approach and a Semantic SNMP extension, to improve the framework's autonomic support.

Application of Agent Technology for Fault Diagnosis of Telecommunication Networks

“…Ontology models are the most ground approach for knowledge modelling (Subbaraj and Venkatraman, 2015;Monteiro et al, 2014), as they provide a common terminology which is essential to enable cooperation among self-managed entities (Staab and Studer, 2013) and that necessity of coordination is a point where all autonomic approaches agree. That cooperation grounds in the idea that autonomic management entities need to cooperate among them to achieve a desired goal, but this is not a new idea in the agent engineering (Wooldridge, 2009) field where the concept of agent grounds exactly in the same idea.…”

“…The use of ontologies for modelling the required knowledge to build the autonomic Future Internet is a grounded idea (Monteiro et al, 2014 model (Strassner, 2002) which extends the CIM with the description of business rules. The…”
