The present disclosure controls the network and manages resources for
managing network assets through in a network-based supply chain
framework. Network assets are available to network users. One user may
submit information reguarding potential for growth, the capacity, or the
technological level of one of the network assets. Another user may submit
similar information about another network asset. Based on the information
from the users, the system may determine the optimal set of network
assets. When network events about the assets are recieved, the events can
be filtered, correlated and isolated. These events can then be translated
into a standard object form for facilitating the determination of the
problem causing the network event.
