Topology management in unstructured P2P networks using neural networks
2007
Resource discovery is an essential problem in peer-to-peer networks since there is no centralized index in which to look for information about resources. In a pure P2P network peers act as servers and clients at the same time and in the Gnutella network for example, peers know only their neighbors. In addition to developing different kinds of resource discovery algorithms, one approach is to study the different topologies or structures of the P2P network. In many cases topology management is based on either technical characteristics of the peers or their interests based on the previous resource queries. In this paper, we propose a topology management algorithm which does not predetermine fa…
Attracting sets in network regulatory theory
2016
Modern telecommunication networks are very complex and they should be able to deal with rapid and unpredictable changes in traffic flows. Virtual Network Topology is used to carry IP traffic over Wavelength-division multiplexing optical network. To use network resources in the most optimal way, there is a need for an algorithm, which will dynamically re-share resources among all devices in the particular network segment, based on links utilization between routers. Attractor selection mechanism could be used to dynamically control such Virtual Network Topology. The advantage of this algorithm is that it can adopt to very rapid, unknown and unpredictable changes in traffic flows. This mechani…
A Logical Architecture for Active Network Management
2006
This paper focuses on improving network management by exploiting the potential of “doing” of the Active Networks technology, together with the potential of “planning,” which is typical of the artificial intelligent systems. We propose a distributed multiagent architecture for Active Network management, which exploits the dynamic reasoning capabilities of the Situation Calculus in order to emulate the reactive behavior of a human expert to fault situations. The information related to network events is generated by programmable sensors deployed across the network. A logical entity collects this information, in order to merge it with general domain knowledge, with a view to identifying the roo…
Exploiting Deductive Processes for Automated Network Management
2005
This paper focuses on improving network management by the adoption of artificial intelligence techniques. We propose a distributed multiagent architecture for network management, which exploits the dynamic reasoning capabilities of the situation calculus in order to emulate the reactive behavior of a human expert to fault situations. The information related to network events is generated by programmable sensors deployed on the network devices and is collected by a logical entity for network managing where it is merged with general domain knowledge, with a view to identifying the root causes of faults and to decide on reparative actions. The logical inference system has been devised to carry…
A Logical Framework for Augmented Simulations of Wireless Sensor Networks
2006
This paper describes a framework for practical and efficient monitoring of a wireless sensor network. The architecture proposed exploits the dynamic reasoning capabilities of the situation calculus in order to assess the sensor network behavior before actually deploying all the nodes. Designing a wireless sensor network for a specific application typically involves a preliminary phase of simulations that rely on specialized software, whose behavior does not necessarily reproduce what will be experienced by an actual network. On the other hand, delaying the test phase until deployment may not be advisable due to unreasonable costs. This paper suggests the adoption of a hybrid approach that i…
Distributed intelligent management,of active networks
2003
This paper focuses on improving computer network management by the adoption of artificial intelligence techniques. A logical inference system has being devised to enable automated isolation, diagnosis, and even repair of network problems, thus enhancing the reliability, performance, and security of networks. We propose a distributed multi-agent architecture for network management, where a logical reasoner acts as an external managing entity capable of directing, coordinating, and stimulating actions in an active management architecture. The active networks technology represents the lower level layer which makes possible the deployment of code which implement teleo-reactive agents, distribut…
Computer networks stability independence of the queuing delays
2015
Communication in intelligent computer networks is an indispensible attribute of the dataflow quality in Web traffic. We propose a model that investigates intelligent computer networks stability while specifying its limits. Packet queuing delay affects the performance of the network, and especially its stability. If the network is presented as a dynamic system in block diagram form, we compute a transfer function and determine the quasi-polynomial system. The characteristic polynomial distribution of zeros of complex variable quasi-plane determines the boundaries of the network stability. The approach relies on estimation of the network system's transfer functions and its quasi-polynomial. C…
Rule based reasoning for network management
2006
This paper focuses on improving network management by the adoption of artificial intelligence techniques. We propose a distributed multi-agent architecture for network management, where a logical reasoner acts as a managing entity capable of directing, coordinating, and triggering monitoring and management actions in the proposed architecture. The logical inference system has been devised to enable automated isolation, diagnosis, and to repair network anomalies, thus enhancing the reliability, performance, and security of the network. The measurements of network events are captured by programmable sensors deployed on the network devices and are collected by the network management entity whe…
A Reconfigurable Neural Environment on Active Networks
2000
This paper proposes the deployment of a neural network computing environment on Active Networks. Active Networks are packet-switched computer networks in which packets can contain code fragments that are executed on the intermediate nodes. This feature allows the injection of small pieces of codes to deal with computer network problems directly into the network core, and the adoption of new computing techniques to solve networking problems. The goal of our project is the adoption of a distributed neural network for approaching tasks which are specific of the computer network environment. Dynamically reconfigurable neural networks are spread on an experimental wide area backbone of active no…
