MESIS
Management
Environment for Secure
and Interoperable Services
MESIS is an integrated management environment that flexibly answers the security and interoperability issues of global and untrusted environments, such as the Internet. MESIS has been realized not only for managing distributed network resources, but also for supporting the easy definition, deployment and tailoring of new network services.
MESIS implementation is tied to the Mobile Agent paradigm (and to a corresponding MA DPE - SOMA), because mobile agents are a promising technology for dealing with the complexity of an open network-centric scenario. The MA support is written in Java and exploits the Java platform independence to face heterogeneity.
MESIS mobile agents fulfil administration needs by moving and executing on different nodes. Automation of control is obtained through the possibility of delegating management actions to agents, that act autonomously and in a completely asynchronous fashion with respect to the administrator, thus relieving her duty; for instance, one agent can automatically take care of software upgrading on dynamically selected nodes of a managed network. Mobile agents permit to adapt to system modifications by tuning the behavior of network resources and services at run-time; for instance, any administrator can modify and propagate security policies at any time, with no need to shutdown the whole system, by dynamically instantiating new mobile agents to propagate the new policies in the administered domains.
