Abstract

The overall Architecture of the proposed system is based on a distributed cooperative multi-agent paradigm,with probabilistic networks as a framework for knowledge representation and evidence interferencing.We adopt the management by delegation paradigm for network monitoring and integrate both hard and soft faults.
