Summary: | Methods and systems for autonomously managing computer networks are provided. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, management functions are organized in a novel two-layer peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture. The bottom layer organizes management information in a unified object-relationship model, that is instantiated in a distributed transactional object repository. The top layer unifies the traditional roles of managers and elements into a single autonomic management peering layer. Autonomic elements use the repository as a primary management repository, and effect autonomic behavior in terms of transactions over the shared model state. A novel autonomic policy model and language, Object Spreadsheet Language (OSL), in the form of acyclic spreadsheet change propagation rules, and declarative constraints is also provided. |
