Network Alert Management Based on Multi Agent Systems for Surveillance and Supervising Software and Hardware Components

Abstract

As mobile devices (MD) continue to grow in popularity and functionality, the demand for advanced ubiquitous mobile applications in our daily lives also increases. Modern network security systems endorse monitoring as well as control functions in a remote fashion, thus implementing the pervasive computing paradigm; moreover, the intelligence is now often embedded into modern applications. This work presents an intelligent and a pervasive supervising system for network security based on multi-agent systems (MAS) which detects and classifies events and sends notification to user mobile phones.  The proposed platform is formed by two components: The first one consists of a Central Software Component (CSC); the supervisor application that manages devices and evaluates logs and alarms of the supervised components. The second one consists of an Embedded Software Component (ESC) on the MD with an ANDROID OS. The purpose of a network alert management is to inform the user of failures and impending issues in due time so that he can fix them before they adversely affect the operation of the Information System (IS).In our platform, we have implemented agents on ESC using JADE-LEAP android, JADE API on CSC and the communication between these two components is performed using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
