About this Item

Neuware - Multi-domain communication management systems are distributed networks with many points of entry which allow for back-up and continued operation even in the event of a single-point failure. They also integrate diverse network technologies such as ATM and SDH into a hybrid network. These features are important in today's global economy, where corporations and organizations exist and operate across many national and geographic boundaries. Based on over three years of work compiled by the MISA project staff, it covers specification, architecture, implementation, troubleshooting, and results of this complex but important network technology. As the technical manager, the author is in a unique position to present the most current and accurate information available.

About this title

Synopsis

Among the leading challenges faced by systems managers today is the coherent management of network resources in a multi-domain, multi-environment. The MISA Project - Management of Integrated SDH and ATM Networks - brought together researchers from 17 organizations to explore and advance the state of the art in developing enabling mechanisms for end-to-end management solutions across multi-domain and multi-technology networks. These mechanisms enable interoperability between management domains, between heterogeneous network technology, and between service and network management functions in a multi-provider environment. Multi-Domain Communication Management Systems reports on the experiences of the MISA Project researchers. It provides guidance for the deployment of multi-domain management systems and offers a solid basis for the implementation of solutions to the challenges of converging data network technologies. System managers will learn the techniques and mechanisms for end-to-end management problems; network management vendors will understand the benefits and limitations of current practices and standards as they apply to multi-domain management issues; and students and researchers of advanced communications management will discover important concepts and issues related to the management of networks.
