Abstract

The domain knowledge required to manage and operate modern communications networks is still largely captured in human-readable documents. In this paper we take the position that an embedded machine readable knowledge base that directly supports network management and operations systems is required. We present a framework for such an approach, called KnowOps, and illustrate how it complements and enhances state-of-the-art network management and operation systems.
