In order to apply autonomic management algorithms on a network, the management system and the network itself must poses a number of capabilities:
i. Input in the shape of accurate network status;
ii. A translation from management objectives to actions;
iii. Enforcement of those actions on the network, and;
iv. A feedback from the network.
To fulfill requirements i and ii, we came up with the 4-layer, 3-colums model.
To achieve iii and iv, and to support the model in task i, we composed a specialized protocol over the Elvin middleware.

Mission – Managing the Net ?!!!
• Scalable network management paradigm– Multiple management processes scattered– Multiple publish/subscribe routers– Distributed information model
• A step towards truly autonomic networks– AI algorithms working out objectives in different
levels of the network– Swarming agents performing Service Discovery
tasks
• Harmonization of management system and managed network
