Design and Implementation of Web-based Internet/Intranet Application Service Management System

There exist various Internet/Intranet application services such as e-mail, ftp, news, telnet, archie, gopher and WWW, and new application services are continuously being developed. These services must be managed in order to provide secure, reliable and efficient services to users. This paper presents a framework for Web-based Internet/Intranet application service management system. As the proposed management system uses the Web technology, it can provide platform independence, mobility and friendly user interface. Using CORBA technology, the architecture can offer security, portability and scalability. It can also support multiple network management protocols and easy integration of new Internet/Intranet service management applications and the existing management applications. The Java technology is used to provide the interface of Web-based Internet/Intranet service management. Finally, we describe a prototype implementation and evaluate its performance.
