CIA (in KGB): Controlling Intelligent Agents in Knowledge Generalized Bevies. It is possible to manage, control and monitor peripherals (both hardware and software devices) within a large Intranet without significantly increasing the traffic load of the network topology. The usual approach to managing a system requires that the management streams be placed onto the network. When the network load has a large number of devices doing handshake requests, just the protocol traffic of the devices may represent a proportionally large overhead to the resources. Complications begin to cascade, putting more demands on the resources. A system manager attempting to configure a hardware or software device may find that the traffic load is just too high to effectively manage the network topology. There are four competing resources in this scenario.

• Peripherals -- The peripheral which must be configured and/or managed
• Network Resource -- which must be configured, managed and used as an information conveyance
• GUI -- The presentation of the information and the response to commands from a managing authority
• Security -- Necessary to protect and effectively manage the other three resources

Each of these resources can have their network load reduced by managing a greater proportion of the resource's command and control needs locally on the processor which they reside. CIA is a system approach which allows the system manager to localize command and control of peripherals, network resources, security and the GUI.
