FURTHER RESEARCH ON SYSTEMATIC INFORMATION MODELING

A new scheme based on hierarchical information organization and situat ion awareness to support network manager in failure localization is pr oposed. This paper integrates the situation theory for the needs of fa ult management to model the states and events. As the result, the prop osed information model includes four fault management viewpoints to su pport situational, functional, logical and physical analysis within th e respective networks. Object-oriented analysis is applied to construc t the information. The correlation of network situation is derived by description logic. The proposed classification algorithm is applied to solve the situation awareness problem. By using this proposal the cor relation performance is enhanced to logarithmic order.
