1. A network management system for managing a network, comprising:
- a network decomposition unit which decomposes said network into network components;
a table management unit which manages information on decomposition of the network into said network components by tabulating the information on decomposition; and
a virtual-network generation unit which generates a virtual network as a new area to be managed, by combining said network components based on information managed by said table management unit.

Abstract
A network management system in which usability and efficiency in management and maintenance of a network are improved. In the network management system, a network decomposition unit decomposes the network into network components, a table management unit manages information on the decomposition of the network into the network components by tabulating the information on the decomposition, and a virtual-network generation unit generates a virtual network as a new area to be managed, by combining the network components based on the information on the decomposition.

13. A virtual-network generation method for generating a virtual network in a network, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) decomposing said network into network components;
(b) tabulating information on decomposition of the network into said network components; and
(c) generating said virtual network as a new area to be managed, by combining said network components based on said information tabulated in step (b). - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
