The Research And Development Of Component-Based Network Management System Framework

Since the scale of computer networks become very large and the complexity increases greatly, a network management system needs to be more expansible and flexible. And the development of network management system becomes more difficult than before. Though there are very large legacy systems in the network-management domain, the developers would had to recommence when a new project starts which is very similar. Not only the very large repetitive labor waste the very larger manpower and material resources, but also don't guarantee quality of the software. The flexibility of network management system is also confined. If solved this question, we would need the new technology and thinking of software project. Component-Based Software technique is a mainstream in software reuse technique. As a big granularity component, framework provides base and context for the installing of component, which aims to resolve these challenges and to improve the efficiency and quality of domain-specific software development. Having studied a series of latest conclusions and case of software component technique and framework technique, and according to research and analysis of the network-management domain, the paper focuses on a component-based application framework in the network-management domain. It can support the development of network management system software. The different between them is that the developer can transfer the traditional object-oriented application framework into the component-based application framework that the paper focuses on through replacing overloading of method in component interface. The latter is more flexible and easier to be used than the former.The paper researches to network-management domain very detailedly. On the base of the research, the architecture and integration technique of component-based application framework in the network-management domain are detailedly discussed. At last, the component depository technique that the framework needs is summarily discussed. A net-management-domain component model is put forward by the paper.
