Abstract£ºIn order to deal with the management complexity resulting from the dynamic
and heterogeneous environment£¬ a multiª²agent framework consisting of many distributed
nodes is proposed based on distributed paradigm. By using the mechanism of message passing
and conversation among nodes the distributed cooperation and coordination are realized.
The kernel architecture based on faith mechanism is utilized by the functional main agent
within the node so as to respond to the change of environment in reactª²driven way while
carrying out various diagnoses and recovery in a goalª²driven manner in every node£¬
thus the local adaptive management is complemented efficiently. Through analyzing an
instance of a network resource management£¬ it is shown that the extendable adaptive
system management can be realized by the proposed framework in dynamic and complex
environmentª±
