Abstract
Next Generation Networks (NGN) impose new challenges to network management. In particular, QoS management presents a big complexity to an efficient network operation, requiring real-time decisions to keep QoS commitments. In order to solve these problems, there is a growing interest in including intelligent mechanisms inside the network, enabling adaptive behavioral management. This article presents Corail-Sim, a new network simulation platform enabled with Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) to develop intelligent management services to NGN. This new tool is intended to design, model and test intelligent behaviors over a number of technologies such as DiffServ, IntServ, MPLS, Wireless LAN, etc.
