--===============1971184143== Content-Type: text/html; charset=gb2312; format=flowed <html><div style='background-color:'><P>Hello,<BR> <BR>We have uploaded an Internet draft about data modeling for<BR>network management. It can be found here:</P> <P><A href="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-xiao-evaluate-dml-00.txt">http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-xiao-evaluate-dml-00.txt</A></P> <P>We are Debao Xiao and Hui Xu. Debao Xiao is a professor at <BR>Institute of Computer Network and Communication, HuaZhong <BR>Normal University (<A href="http://www.ccnu.edu.cn">www.ccnu.edu.cn</A>) and Hui Xu is his doctor <BR>candidate. Professor Xiao has many years of experience<BR>in the area of network management and we are now working in <BR>a research project (funded by both the key scientific and <BR>technological project of Wuhan city in P. R. China and <BR>the key scientific and technological project of Hubei province <BR>in P.R. China) about next generation network management and <BR>security management. </P> <P>In some scenarios, the multiplicity of network management models <BR>implies the use of multiple management data modeling languages, <BR>which model the resources to be managed. Each language differs in <BR>the level of various capabilities and expressiveness, most of <BR>which are not easily measured. One of the activities in this project <BR>has then been to address the problem about how to establish a <BR>framework of evaluation to compare different management data modeling <BR>languages based on a set of criteria.</P> <P>Another aim of our project is to prospect the essentail features of <BR>future data modeling language based on proposed framework of evaluation, <BR>since existing ones have drawbacks of different levels, which hinder <BR>them in adapting to the requirements of next generation network management.</P> <P>We have demonstrated the most important part of our proposed criteria in <BR>this draft, which are modeling approaches, expressiveness, readability, <BR>interoperability, extensibility and others, and have also presented some <BR>perspectives on developing future data modeling languages for next <BR>generation network management, possibly integrating existing ones. The <BR>characteristics of existing data modeling languages are then summarized <BR>through comparison based on given criteria for evaluation.</P> <P>We hope our work can contribute to any future work on<BR>data modeling for next generation network management.</P> <P>If there is significant interest, we would be happy to give<BR>a presentation of this Internet draft in Wuhan, P. R. China.<BR> <BR>Best regards,<BR>Debao Xiao and Hui Xu<BR><BR><BR></P> <DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" color=#000000 size=4><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>ʹÓà <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBCNCN/2737??PS=47575" target="_top">MSN Messenger </a> ÓëÁª»úµÄÅóÓѽøÐн»Á÷ </html> --===============1971184143== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ OPS-NM mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ops-nm --===============1971184143==--
