Abstract:
In the domain of IT management, numerous models, protocols and tools have been developed. To achieve the long-term goal of comprehensive, highly automated IT management, the various sources of information need to be combined. As syntactic translation is often not sufficient, ontologies can be used to unambiguously and comprehensively model IT environments including management rules. In this paper, we present an approach that combines the domain model, rules, instance data (which represents real-world systems) into an ontology. Moreover, probabilistic knowledge of the domain is modeled using Bayesian networks and integrated into the ontology. A runtime system that aggregates data and merges it into the ontology, and then uses a reasoner to evaluate management rules, is described as part of the approach of the ongoing project.
