This paper presents an underlying framework to support and accelerate the production of applications and services in the context of programmable networks (SDN and NFV, clouds). The proposed framework addresses moreover the 5G KPI of “reducing the average service creation time from 90 hours to 90 minutes” as declared by 5G-PPP association in the early of 2015 among other KPIs. The proposed framework...
Agent-based modeling is a paradigm that simulates the simultaneous operations and interactions of multiple agents, in an attempt to re-create and predict the appearance of complex phenomena. Its key advantages are that a) it provides the most natural way to model real-world systems and b) it has much more modeling power than traditional mathematical methods such as differential equations as the latter...
Humans create efficient social structures in a self-organized way based on a feature called homophily. This paper proposes the use of homophily in Service-Oriented Multiagent Systems to create efficient self-organized structures and provide a decentralized service management.
Managing networks and services in large virtual enterprises often requires significant expertise to decipher and reconcile information coming from several heterogeneous sources. This presents a significant challenge as the person with the network management expertise is not necessarily the person who has the task or vision of how to maximize the value of these services. Conversely it would be valuable...
The purpose of this article is to present a case study of an action plan as a service management tool in the Thai public sector. The case will show how the Thai public sector formulates, implements, evaluates, and improves its development plans. In addition, it shows how relevant organizations coordinate and cooperate with one another at national, provincial, and individual team levels. This article...
The paper presents Macml, a domain-specific language (DSL) that focuses on the effective specification, implementation, and verification of information systems in the domain of machinery services. As a meta-model of the application domain, the language precisely defining elements including entities, relationships, behaviors, constraints, and workflows, based on which the users, domain experts, and...
The development of enterprise-wide service-oriented architectures (SOA) is a complex task. In most cases, evolutionary approaches are used to deal with the arising complexity. However, most of the existing design methodologies and implementation strategies focus on more technical, service realization specific aspects. Challenges regarding the definition and the management of related service artifacts...
The great challenges of Internet service fault management are uncertainty and noise. To address these challenges, we model the service scenario through a multi-layer management model, and propose an approach using active probing to detect and diagnose faults. This approach uses bipartite Bayesian network as dependency model, binary symmetric channel as noise model, and is composed of two phases: fault...
