Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described that use models of measurement variables to provide self-adjusting policies that: (a) reduce the administrative overhead of specifying thresholds and (b) provide a means for pro-active management by automatically constructing warning thresholds based on the probability of an alarm occurring within a time horizon. The invention includes components for model construction, threshold construction, policy evaluation, and action taking. Several kinds of meta policies are used in accordance with the invention to provide adaptation and pro-active management.
