TL;DR
This paper provides a framework that does not require users or application developers to have detailed knowledge of the resources needed and resource scheduling and allocation techniques in use and describes an architecture of services to support the strategy and a prototype.
Abstract
We address the problem of Quality of Service (QoS) requirements for multimedia applications (e.g., distance education, telemedicine, electronic commerce). These applications need to be able to co-exist with more traditional applications for transaction and data processing and have soft real-time requirements. Unlike most other work in QoS management, we provide a framework that does not require users or application developers to have detailed knowledge of the resources needed and resource scheduling and allocation techniques in use. These underlying details are e.ectively hidden. In this paper, we describe our strategy, an architecture of services to support the strategy and a prototype.

This document presents the object-oriented information model for representing policy information developed jointly in the IETF Policy Framework WG and as extensions to the Common Information Model activity in the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF).
A Coding Approach to Event Correlation
206 Citations1995S. Kliger, Shaula Yemini +3 more
Preliminary benchmarks of the SEMS demonstrate that the coding approach provides a speedup at least two orders of magnitude over other published correlation systems, and scales well to very large domains involving thousands of problems.
Performance of a software MPEG video decoder

It is shown that memory bandwidth is the primary limitation in performance of the decoder, not the computational complexity of the inverse discrete cosine transform as is commonly thought.
Fault Isolation and Event Correlation for Integrated Fault Management
78 Citations1997Stefan Kätker, Martin Paterok
An algorithm for fault isolation and event correlation in integrated networks is presented that reconstructs fault propagation during run-time by exploring relationships between managed objects and provides improved focus and efficiency compared to similar algorithms.
Towards a Practical Alarm Correlation System

Observations are based on experimental use of the NetFACT system to process a live, continuous alarm stream from a portion of the Advantis physical backbone network, one of the largest private telecommunications networks in the world.
Journal of Network and Systems ManagementA Generic Model for Fault Isolation in Integrated Management Systems
51 Citations1997Stefan Kätker, Kurt Geihs
A generic model is described that unifies the view of the management system on the managed environment and integrates the relevant aspects of network, system, and servicemanagement layers in order to perform integrated faultisolation in integrated management systems.
