On the Standardization of Semantic Web Services-based Network Monitoring Operations.

Web services have become an emerging XML-based approach in network management. And the combination of Web services and Semantic Web, in other words, Semantic Web services, make it possible to add semantic manners to services and automate network monitoring. This paper focuses on the standardization of network monitoring operations from the Semantic Web services' point of view. During this course, we especially take into account the problems about parameter transmission and operation granularity, and present the considerations about these problems in detail.
