The dramatic expansion of integrated network management knowledge achieved in recent years is recognized in this text. The significance of the recent developments is discussed, as is the need to build a broad-based central forum for the sharing and integration of knowledge amongst vendors and users, researchers and developers, standards developers and implementers, LAN, WAN and MAN specialists, systems and networks experts, and the whole network management community. Contributions have been sourced from recognized professionals involved in various disciplines across the field. This international participation aims to ensure the expertise of vast sections of the telecommunications, computer communications and computer industries is represented, as well as that of leading users, academic and industrial research laboratories. The volume is divided into the following primary topics: management architecture; distributed systems management; implementing management architectures; management requirements, experiences and evaluation; telecommunications management, and management applications. This text aims to be of use as a reference book on current research in the field, and to stimulate a further development of emerging technologies.
