NETWORK CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G06F15/16 

FIELD: physics; computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to device control in a network. A network is controlled by running task codes and assessing results of the task codes. Task codes are instruments designed for extracting information on a specific network device. A service is made with possibility of coordinating scheduling, execution and collection of data and aggregation of each task code on different networks, for example multiple domains. Each task code is executed at the scheduled time and sends results to an analyser. The analyser formats the results and provides the service with formatted data. The service stores collected data in a database. A client can schedule and/or browse results of control actions by communicating with the service. Collected data can be compared or filtered in accordance with templates based on rules which determine acceptable configurations of the network device. Reports can be generated based on the templates so that a client can assess results of task codes executed on the entire network.

EFFECT: improved scheduling of applications.
