[comp.dcom.telecom] Request - AI Applications on Network Management

Ben Lippolt <lippolt@dnlunx.pttrnl.nl> (12/07/89)

Next year we'll start a research project on the applicability of
AI-techniques (in particular expert systems) to network management
tasks. We're mainly interested in fault localisation and recovery
(i.e.  analysis of alarm messages), but we also might look at
configuration and planning of networks.  The goal of this project will
be one or more demonstration systems.

We're interested in pointers to work in this area (articles, books,
reports, proceedings, etc). What are the labs of other
telecommunication companies doing in this area? Are there any systems
available in this area which we could use as a basis for our work
(prototypes will do, preferably public domain)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.
