<p>The present invention describes a system and method for using agent-based distributed reasoning to manage a computer network. In particular, the system includes interface agents to integrate event streams, distributed reasoning agents, and response agents, which run on hosts in the network. An interface agent monitors a resource in the network and reports an event to an appropriate distributed reasoning agent. The distributed reasoning agent, using one or more knowledge bases, determines a response to the event. An appropriate response agent implements the response. Characteristics of the reasoning agent's mean that they can work together collaboratively, as well as implementing parallel algorithms.</p> |
