Abstract
Complex Dynamic Networks can be exploited in solving problems where traditional solutions may not be sufficient. The increasing complexity of computer networks imposes problems to the current network management solutions. In this context, network management is an example of a research area that could benefit from the use of CDNs. However, the consistency of state of management data among the elements that build management CDNs (management nodes) is an important challenge. Traditional mechanisms to maintain consistency of these states are supported by some centralization which wastes some desirable properties of CDNs (e.g., robustness). In contrast to these mechanisms, we propose a distributed, scalable and robust mechanism to maintain the consistency of state of management data in management CDNs. Our mechanism introduces multi-agent truth maintenance features and communication…
