Abstract
The prototype application of a distributed problem-solving framework (DPSF) is described. The DPSF is made up of the coarse-grained multiagent systems defined as a set of computational agents that autonomously execute. cooperate, and coordinate each other to solve the network management problems. This loosely coupled heterogeneous system is connected by a common bus. In the proposed architectural components of the DPSF, the blackboard modulus consists of a data blackboard and a control blackboard, and knowledge sources (KSs) are composed of a local-planning KS, a metaplanning KS, a communication KS, a domain KS and a constraint KS. It is found that the DPSF offers advantages of performance, reliability, extensibility and the ability to handle incomplete data and knowledge.<>
