HiFi+: A monitoring virtual machine for autonomic distributed management

Abstract

Autonomic distributed management enables for deploying self-directed monitoring and control tasks that track dynamic network problems such as performance degradation and security threats. In this paper, we present a monitoring virtual machine interface (HiFi+) that enables users to define and deploy distributed autonomic management tasks using simple Java programs. HiFi+ provides a generic expressive and flexible language to define distributed event monitoring and correlation tasks in large-scale networks. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2004.
