Integrated network management plays a pivotal role in establishing and maintaining an efficient worldwide information infrastructure. This volume presents a state-of-the-art review of the latest worldwide research results covering this topic. The book contains the selected proceedings of the fourth International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, arranged by the International Federation for Information Processing and jointly sponsored by the IEEE. The Symposium was held in Santa Barbara, California, May 1995.
