Abstract

A new computing model called Distributed Intelligent Managed Element incorporates fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security (FCAPS) management using a signaling network overlay and allows the dynamic control of a set of distributed computing elements in a network. Each node is a computing entity (a Turing machine implemented using von-Neumann computing model) modified by endowing it with self-management and signaling capabilities to collaborate with similar nodes in a network. The separation of parallel computing and management channels allows the end to end transaction management of computing tasks (provided by the autonomous distributed computing elements) to be implemented as network-level FCAPS management.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Each DIME is globally addressable and supports network connectivity for both signaling and computing workflows using inter-DIME routing and switching.
