Policy-Driven Mobile Ad hoc Network Management (Hardcover)

This book discusses the management challenges associated with ad hoc networks, and provides an in-depth description of how policy-based network management can be used for increasing automation in the management of mobile ad hoc networks. It describes the required components of a network management solution for such networks, using a policy-based management framework that integrates the traditional network management components (FCAPS, i.e. Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security management).
