Investigating O:MIB-based Distributed Active Information Model (DAIM) for Autonomics

Technological innovations in communication networking, computing applications, and information modeling have played a significant role in managing complex distributed electronic systems. Autonomic Computing (AC) is a concept to deal with the over growing complexity of distributed networks; this term gives systems the ability of self-management, which mean each component in AC can adapt itself to changing conditions of the dynamic environment. In this paper we investigate a new natureinspired Distributed Active Information Model (DAIM) to allow the local decision making process, that will essentially contribute to complex distributed network environments. Details of the DAIM structure are also described, which will hopefully address the schemes of some previous network management protocols such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Common Information Model (CIM), and mechanism like Policy-Based Network Management. Finally, we will introduce a benchmark networking system called OpenFlow for applying the DAIM model to enhance autononmic fuctions.
