Regardless of which networking protocols or technologies form the core of the future Internet it is clear that the environment as a whole will need to support a very broad range of business and user interaction modes. In todays Internet we observe the growing trend for services to be both provided and consumed by loosely coupled value networks of consumers, providers and combined consumer/providers...
Policy-based management is typically used to manage large and complex systems, e.g. the management of telecommunications networks. When collaborating multi-disciplinary managers try to create policies from their own viewpoint they are hindered by a lack of a common vocabulary and an inability to understand how the complex system currently operates and how it is constrained. For example, modern telecoms...
The trends for pushing more operational intelligence towards network elements to achieve more context-aware and self-managing behavior often requires elements to gather network knowledge without necessarily binding explicitly to all of the potential sources of that knowledge. Though event-based publish-subscribe models allow efficient distribution of knowledge where the event types are known globally,...
When deploying collaborative applications such as instant messaging in ubiquitous computing environments significant enhancements can be afforded by offering additional context information, such as location information. However, such environments exert key challenges such as increased diversity of ownership and ad hoc, intermittent network connectivity that suits more decentralized computing architectures...
Currently a wide range of different adaptive and intelligent system solutions are being proposed for use in self-managing or autonomic networks. However, there are few means by which such proposals can be compared. This paper proposes that a benchmark be developed for autonomic systems so that progress in this field can be more systematically evaluated. Our approach assumes that autonomic systems...
