A Multilayer Graph Approach to Correlating Network Events with Operational Mission Impact

Abstract

Often called the "holy grail" of network management is the problem of how to provide automated support in detecting computer network outages and degradations. Current methods for this type of problem are mostly manual in nature. Network Management Services technologies allow increased visibility and control but cannot relate network status to mission capabilities as the information is simply not present in the network. Goal of research presented is to create a framework for establishing traceability between systems, processes, and operational tasks and missions.
