Abstract: Information received from disparate individual monitors that are concurrently measuring a predetermined property of a predetermined resource in a network are compared in a reliability computation engine to compute a metric of the degree of similarity between their measurements, and thus to determine a measure of the reliability of one or more of the individual monitors. This information can be used by a provisioning engine to select or reject individual resources for use in meeting service requirements on the basis of the reliability of the reports of their performance, as well as the reported performance itself. Monitors identified as unreliable can also be reported to a fault diagnosis function.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method which can be used to optimise the delivery of series over communications networks. Tasks which need to executed within a short timescale and those which are not due to be executed for a long time are excluded from the optimisation process. A score is determined, using fuzzy logic, for each task and its related resources and for each resource and its related tasks. This score is then used to determined which tasks should be optimised.
