This paper describes aspects for developing cognitive functionalities in self-managed networks according to the vision of the Future Internet networks being developed in the Self-NET project. The project develops and prototypes architecture and solutions for realising a vision on Internet evolution based on integration of cognition and autonomics in self-managed networks demonstrated in numerous and diverse use-cases developed. Two specific topics are investigated in the paper as they present the building blocks of this development. The first topic is definition and formulation of the knowledge lifecycle in self-managed networks and the second one is on building situation awareness in such networks as a ubiquitous concept in dynamic control. Both of the topics are interrelated and are crucial elements of building cognitive networks primarily as their resolving and definition demonstrate the practical side of applying diverse available work on the topics and provide a focus for their understanding and development.
