Active technologies for network and service management : 10th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems, Operations and Management, DSOM'99, Zurich, Switzerland, October 11-13, 1999 : proceedings

This volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series contains all papers accepted for presentation at the 10th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management (DSOM’99), which took place at the ETH Zürich in Switzerland and was hosted by the Computer Engineering and Networking Laboratory, TIK. DSOM’99 is the tenth workshop in a series of annual workshops, and Zürich is proud to host this 10th anniversary of the IEEE/IFIP workshop. DSOM’99 follows highly successful meetings, the most recent of which took place in Delaware, U.S.A. (DSOM'98), Sydney, Australia (DSOM'97), and L’Aquila, Italy (DSOM'96). DSOM workshops attempt to bring together researchers from the area of network and service management in both industry and academia to discuss recent advancements and to foster further growth in this ?eld. In contrast to the larger management symposia IM (In- grated Network Management) and NOMS (Network Operations and Management S- posium), DSOM workshops follow a single-track program, in order to stimulate interaction and active participation. The speci?c focus of DSOM’99 is “Active Technologies for Network and Service Management,” re?ecting the current developments in the ?eld of active and program- ble networks, and about half of the papers in this workshop fall within this category.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th IFIP/IEEE International Workshop on Distributed Systems: Operations and Management, DSOM'99, held in Zurich, Switzerland in October 1999 with the topical focus on Active Technologies for Network and Service Management.
The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 50 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on decentralized monitoring and anomaly detection, management components and multi-domain management, the future of SNMP-based management, programmable SNMP-based management, management of programmable and active networks, IT and enterprise management, and management tools.

Current management systems follow a centralised and static management model although several researchers have reported the limitations of this approach [6-10].
