Abstract

The Madeira project addresses a novel approach for the management of network elements of increasing number, heterogeneity and transience. As next-generation networks exhibit major challenges for today´s centralized network management systems, we investigate the feasibility of a peer-to-peer (P2P) approach, facilitating self-management and dynamic behavior of elements within networks. In this short paper we give an overview of the system architecture developed in Madeira and describe the key concepts, like Madeira platform services, adaptive management components and policies that provide the base for building distributed network management applications
