Management architecture and systems for future internet networks

This paper presents a new autonomic management architectural model consisting of a number of distributed management systems running within the network, which are described with the help of five abstractions and distributed systems: Virtualisation, Management, Knowledge, Service Enablers and Orchestration Planes. The envisaged solution is applicable to the management design of Future Internet as a service and self-aware network, which guarantees built-in orchestrated reliability, robustness, context, access, security, service support and self-management of the communication resources and services. © 2009 The authors and IOS Press.
