New Approaches to Distributed Management

Rolf Stadler <stadler@s3.kth.se>

The need for network management in large-scale and dynamic network
environments calls for solutions beyond traditional management
paradigms.  Approaches based on management overlays, p2p computing, as
well as distributed aggregation and control schemes, have been
recently proposed to engineer management systems that scale beyond
1000s of nodes and are robust regarding topology changes and
failures. The design space is huge and still largely unexplored, and
the challenges are tremendous.
