Reader Reviews
About two years ago I was working on a project on fault-management of a vast and heterogenous network, and my main interest was event correlation in a global scale. The problem with that was that most of the work in that area (academic or otherwise) were in some of the few telecommunication network management conferences, or in the folklore. One had to dig into existing systems to understand what has been done in the past and what are the existing approaches. At that time, this book by Dr. Lewis came into my attention. It is short but well structured book which I finished within a few days. It advocates a case based reasoning approach to intelligently infer network outage and other faults, from local information about events which are seemingly localized. In describing a prototype system, the author has done a succint but clear exposition, together with a good coverage on what case base reasoning is all about. Although eventually I did not take the case based reasoning approach, and took a more algorithmic approach, I found the book to be one of the rarest of its kind, and I must recommend it to any one who is interested in developing a global fault management system for a network by automating inference methods from local fault information about the network.
