Abstract
This paper examines the theory used by fault management to model the
network state and events. The proposed information model includes four fault
management viewpoints supporting situational, functional, logical and physical
analysis within the respective networks. Object-oriented analysis is applied to
structure the information. The correlation of the network situation is represented
in description logic. The proposed classification algorithm is applied to
structure the situational information.
Keywords: Network management; structure of management information; fault
management; management viewpoints.
