Design and implementation of a configuration management system

The author has designed and implemented a configuration management system, which is based on the CMISE service. It provides several functions to configuration management users such as getting information about network resources, re-configuration of a managed network and so on. The author has introduced the network management domain concept and the object-oriented approach for defining managed objects. The service primitives supported by the configuration management system have been defined and the protocol between configuration managers for multi-domain management has been implemented. The author implemented CMISE service, simulator and management information base (MIB) based on the OSI network management framework. Fault and performance management functions are being implemented.<<ETX>>
