	abstract = {In this paper, we present a framework for supporting intelligent fault and performance management for communication networks.Belief networks are taken as the basis for knowledge representation and inference under evidence. When using belief networks for diagnosis, we identify two questions: When can I say that I get the right diagnosis and stop? If right diagnosis has not been obtained yet, which test should I choose next? For the first question, we define the notion of right diagnosis via the introduction of intervention networks. For the second question, we formulate the decision making procedure using the framework of partially observable Markov decision processes. A heuristic dynamic strategy is proposed to solve this problem and the effectiveness is shown via simulation.},

	abstract = {We present system designs for adaptive, distributed network monitoring and control. The ideas are to distribute some processing intelligence to network elements, and to design a dynamic interface such that the delegated agents could be managed remotely by the manager. The functionality of the delegated agents, and even that of the native software processes, could be extended dynamically without recompilation. The creation, deployment, operation, and management of the delegated agents require a standard infrastructure on each system where these agents need to be hosted. We use Java technology and C/C++ dynamic linkage mechanism to fulfill such a requirement under different situations and our system designs span a wide scope of applications},
