Abstract

This paper presents a new approach for autonomic management of heterogeneous communication systems by featuring awareness of the surrounding environment's context. The contribution of this work is two-fold; the first is the development of an overall management infrastructure which identifies the necessary components for future autonomic management systems namely a context plane, an adaptive policy plane, a logic plane and an event management plane. The second contribution is the formalization of a rich model for the representation of the context of network components and services through a context hierarchy based on the utilization of the Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S). By describing services at different layers of abstraction semantically using a machine-processable ontology, the proposed approach allows various components to reason about the management strategies and, hence, carry-out different management tasks autonomously on behalf of administrators and users.
