Mobile Intelligent Agents for Managing the Information Infrastructure

Objectif

Main Objective

The emerging Open European/Global Information Infrastructure is characterised by its increasing distribution, its dynamic nature, and the complexity of its resources. Managing such an environment requires increased intelligence in management solutions and the mobility of such solutions. MIAMI has the following objectives:

-to create a unified Mobile Intelligent Agent (MIA) framework by validating, refining, and enhancing the OMG MASIF (Object Management Group Mobile Agent System Interoperability Facilities Specification) standards according to the requirements for an Open European Information Infrastructure (EII).

-To develop mobile agent solutions for the management of the Open EII and validating them via a set of Pan-European trials in the context of network and service management, and Advanced Communication and Information (ACI) services.

-To create a reference implementation of the unified MIA framework in order to evaluate the service solutions in a Pan-European environment.

-To produce recommendations for the introduction of the MASIF in future products and for the development of MIA-based solutions.

Technical Approach

The implementations within the project will take place on an existing MASIF conformant mobile agent platform. The following facilities are at the core of the MIA infrastructure: lifecycle management, execution, migration, communication, security, and interaction with legacy systems. Case Studies will be selected to validate the MIA infrastructure. Legacy resources of different sites, such as network or service management systems, and facilities will be adapted to the MIA platform components, providing operational environments for the MIAs migrating among the agent systems. Two layers of applications, which will be built upon the enhanced MIA infrastructure, will correspond to the two groups of case studies:

-MIA-based Active Virtual Pipe Service. Agent-based service components providing Quality of Service data to the Service Provider as well as remote fault management and flexible routing strategies (configuration) will be installed and tested.

-ACI Service. Support features for ACI services will include remote mail check, video-conference, secure document access, GroupWare, and Brokerage.

Summary of Trial

The trial consists of a project-developed agent-based multi-domain management platform and selected Pan-European advanced communication and information services. Selected MIAMI partners will become players in the MIAMI enterprise model and host the appropriate roles. Agent systems and MIA-based service support facilities will be installed at the partner sites. The candidate communication infrastructures are: ATM, ISDN, and the Internet. The demonstrations will cover the selected applications in the field of network management (QoS, fault management, and routing) and ACI services (remote access to information and mail services).
Expected Achievements

MIAs have the potential to achieve the following with one unifying paradigm:

-Reduced management traffic load on and increased availability of underlying networks.

-Reduced prerequisite consumer knowledge for installation and operation of the solutions.

-Increased efficiency and effectiveness of the management procedures.

Expected Impact

The MIA-based network management application in a multi-domain, multi-provider environment will contribute to a more efficient use of network resources across Europe, thus increasing competitiveness of European companies.
Key Issues

-Pan-European co-operative management of advanced telecommunications and information services.

-Interaction between management systems of different management domains.

-The relationship between the service management layer and the network management layer.
