NFMi: AN INTER-DOMAIN NETWORK FAULT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Automating network fault management has been an active area of research for a long period because of its complexity, and the return on investment it can generate for service providers. However, most fault management systems are currently custom-developed for specific service providers in specific domains. As service providers continuously add new capabilities and sophistication to their systems to meet the demands of growing user population, these systems have to manage a multi-layered network along with its built-in, legacy processing procedures. Our proposed approach is based on leveraging stream and complex event processing techniques to meet the needs of complex, real-word problems.
