RESUMO

The complexity of current computer systems demands a high level of management of these systems. The Enterprise Management (EM) must be able to manage all aspects of computers systems, from physical details of hardware and communication to applications, including communication protocols and middleware. To meet these needs, several approaches based on intelligent mobile agents have been proposed. A mobile agent is a piece of software that is able to move between machines performing some task. This agent must be autonomous to decide its own actions and adaptable to the external environment. The rapid evolution of computer systems provides an additional issue for EM systems: the capability to support new kinds of managed objects in a flexible and extensible fashion. To match this need, IT industry has provided an initiative called WBEM (Web- Based Enterprise Management). The WBEM initiative includes an object-oriented and extensible management information model. In this work, we validated the application of Systems Enterprise Management architectures based on intelligent mobile agents with standards proposed by the WBEM initiative. To reach this goal, we developed a framework to support intelligent mobile agents capable of accessing management information according to WBEM standards. This framework was developed over a CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) compliant runtime environment: the .NET framework from Microsoft Corporation. As a case study, we have chosen some asset management problems to perform our experiments
