Managing computer network resources

1. A method of managing a computer network, comprising:

• assigning a goal to a software, wherein the software agent has its own Agent Runtime Environment (ARE);
  
  is able to communicate with other software agents in the computer network;
  
  is capable of perceiving its own state; and
  
  is able to clone itself, and wherein the goal is a programmatic expression of a predefined task for the software agent;
  
  using a Transaction Processing Monitor for at least one of a fault-tolerant temporary storage and inter-ARE communication by the software agent across the computer network;
  
  creating test policy and modeling a behavior of the computer network based on the test policy to determine an optimal policy for the computer network, including predicting a failure of a network component based on a prediction algorithm;
  
  wherein said modeling comprises determining appropriate policy based on the prediction, and wherein the test policy is created by a modeler;
  
  providing a security service for authentication and authorization of intra-modeler and inter-modeler communication for preventing viral attacks on the computer network; and
  
  dynamically modifying the assigned goal of the software agent by replacing the assigned goal based on the optimal policy;
  
  wherein the software agent comprises an autonomous agent operable to request further policy when it lacks an ability to perform tile predefined task.
