| A self-healing network is a ‘dream’ for every network designer today. Abstractly it is a network that ca-pable of |
| maintaining the availability of network services. This would not be impossible to be turned into a reality if the |
| networks are embedded with intelligence. By having the intelligent capability the network can be self-managed in |
| response to events that taken place within the network itself through the learning mechanisms. This paper |
| presents the User Manager Agent System (UMAS) learning performance in controlling a request for network |
| application session. ANFIS of Matlab v5.3 has been used to simulate the learning process in which it bases on the |
| training data of network state. The work also had revealed some weaknesses of ANFIS in processing a large volume |
| of training data sets and substantial amount of time taken for processing. |
