Arrangement and Method for Network Management
First Claim
1. :
- An arrangement for network management and adapted to be provided in, associated with or in communication with, a network node to be managed, wherein the arrangement comprises, or is in communication with, modelling means adapted to, using non-formal descriptions, model network domain and behaviour using formal ontologies comprising inference capabilities by means of an inference engine, thus providing a formal ontology model describing domain and behaviour and annotating means adapted to add semantic information to the formal domain and behaviour ontology model, generating means adapted to, using said formal ontology model and said inference engine, elaborate an algorithm adapted to generate and update a probabilistic causal network graph structure representing the domain and its behaviour.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement for network management and adapted to be provided in or associated with a network node to be managed. It comprises, or is in communication with, modeling means adapted to, using substantially non-formal descriptions, model network domain and behavior using formal ontologies comprising inference capabilities by means of an inference engine, thus providing a formal ontology model describing domain and behavior. It also comprises annotating means adapted to add semantic information to the formal domain and behavior ontology model, generating means adapted to, using said formal ontology model and said inference engine, elaborate an algorithm adapted to generate and update a probabilistic causal network graph structure representing the domain and its behavior.

21. :
- A method for network management implemented in or in association with a network node, comprising the steps of;
modelling network domain and behaviour models using formal ontologies comprising inference capabilities to provide a formal ontology model domain and behaviour description; adding, in an annotating step, semantic information to the formal domain and behaviour ontology model; and elaborating an algorithm adapted to generate and update a probabilistic causal graph structure using said formal ontology model and said inference capabilities. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
