The authors describe the new challenges presented for the management of broadband networks and outline the framework of the COMET research group at Columbia University for finding solutions to these challenges They review a prototype that implements some of the requirements for managing the broadband networks of the future In the COMET framework, management operations are defined in terms of primitives with a much higher semantic level than that typified by get and set in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management model, and the user interface to the managed system is based on virtual worlds that allow the manager to directly visualize and interact with the network The impact that this new environment may have on existing management architectures is discussed >read more

Network management system using virtual reality techniques to display and simulate navigation to network components
TL;DR: In this paper, a network management system allows a network administrator to intuitively manage all components of a heterogeneous networked computer system using views of any component or any set of components.
Patent
Method and apparatus for maintaining data integrity across distributed computer systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and an apparatus for maintaining data integrity across distributed computer systems is described, which includes the step of transmitting an object from a server application to a client application, and the steps of synchronizing the object and object state between the server application and the client application.
Patent
Computer network management using dynamic switching between event-driven and polling type of monitoring from manager station
Chih Wei Chao,William Tsun +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of monitoring the topology of a network using dynamic switching between a polling mode and a event-monitoring mode is presented, in which a manager coupled to one of the nodes sends a request to an agent in each node for information about operativeness of the node, its agent, and its connections to other nodes.
Patent
Method and apparatus for filtering messages based on context
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for reporting alert conditions is described, which includes defining alert filter criteria, identifying an alert condition, analyzing one or more properties of the alert condition based on the alert filtering criteria, and determining whether to report the alert conditions.
Patent
Network data visualization system and method for downloading visualization software to a user station after user authentication
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a network data visualization system and a method for accessing a web page using a browser, where the server authenticates the user by returning an authorization page that prompts the user for a password.
