Control and Observation in Distributed Environments

Abstract

This viewgraph presentation gives an overview of the control and observation in distributed environments. No existing system meets all our needs (e.g., they cannot be embedded in tools or applications and have limited fault management functionality). The goals of our infrastructure include the following: (1) to develop a general framework for observation and control; (2) the framework should be extensible for specific tasks; and (3) it must be compatible with emerging standards.
