Abstract
Distributed Network Management is gaining importance due to the e xplosive growth of the size of computer networks. New management paradigms are being proposed as an alternative to the centralised one, and new technologies and programm ing languages are making them feasible. The use of Mobile Agents (MAs) to distribute and delegate manage- ment tasks is a particularly promising approach to dealing with the limitations of current cen- tralised management systems which appear to be lacking flexibility and scalability. This paper is focused on the impact that mobile code paradigms can have on distributed net- work and system monitoring. A dynamic, hierarchical management model based on a delega- tion paradigm is adopted and an MA-architecture for monitoring operations is proposed. Fi- nally, possible uses of the proposed model and architecture for pursuing se amless and timely monitoring are discussed.Keywords
