As the Internet evolves into a global communication infrastructure, it is becoming complex and ubiquitous. It is bringing together heterogeneous collections of hosts and network devices such as wireless mesh networks. A consequence of this ever-increasing scale, complexity and agility is that problems of managing this infrastructure keep getting worse. Research concentrating on streamlining fundamental issues has shown that absence of a single end-to-end lightweight hybrid network management solution with the necessary levels of context awareness and adaptability, while much desirable, has not yet been realized. Consequently, the community is still detained from fully gaining from many of the emerging applications of the cyber-infrastructure. This research involves an exploratory investigation towards a ?drive through? network management platform for ?on-the-fly? Internet-enabled mobile networks. Objectives include new conceptual approaches that couple application, and middleware designs with design of network management services; novel theoretical models that tap into in-network management characteristics of pervasive computing so that missing or conflicting information gathered from multiple participating nodes can be tolerated; augmentation of security management algorithms with trustworthiness functionalities; theoretical schemes that examine epistemic uncertainty by fusing imprecision, uncertainty and event synchronization with belief theory; and extensions to archetype platforms for supporting autonomic network management and configuration. The intellectual merit of the research lies in presenting a first step towards synthesis of integrated network management theoretical and design solutions that support traditional network management protocols and functionalities in addition to the dynamic aspects of infrastructures-less networks. Although some risk exists, focused research can overcome the current barriers. The broader impact of the research is that this work will pave the way to transformative next generation network management paradigms and tools.

随着互联网发展为全球通信基础架构，它变得复杂且无处不在。它将主机和网络设备（例如无线网络网络）的异构收集汇集在一起​​。这种不断增长的量表，复杂性和敏捷性的结果是管理这种基础设施的问题不断恶化。专注于简化基本问题的研究表明，缺乏具有必要水平的上下文意识和适应性水平的单一端到端轻型混合网络管理解决方案，尽管尚未实现，但尚未实现。 因此，社区仍然被拘留在网络基础设施的许多新兴应用中。 这项研究涉及探索性调查？网络管理平台？支持互联网的移动网络。目标包括将应用程序应用的新概念方法以及与网络管理服务设计的中间件设计；新颖的理论模型，这些模型涉及普遍计算的网络内管理特征，以便可以容忍从多个参与节点收集的缺失或冲突的信息；具有可信赖性功能的安全管理算法的增强；理论方案通过将不精确，不确定性和事件同步与信仰理论融合来检查认知不确定性；以及用于支持自主网络管理和配置的原型平台的扩展。 研究的智力优点在于介绍综合网络管理理论和设计解决方案的第一步，这些解决方案支持传统的网络管理协议和功能，除了基础架构的动态方面 - 无基础架构网络。尽管存在一些风险，但重点研究可以克服当前的障碍。该研究的更广泛的影响是，这项工作将为转型的下一代网络管理范式和工具铺平道路。
