Abstract

Self-aware management allows the network to react and to adapt to changes of situation. In this paper an architecture is described for self-aware management of IP networks offering QoS guarantees. This architecture uses policy-based management and multi-agent systems. The originality of the present approach lies in the intention to give a real autonomy to the components intervening in the chain of services in terms of internal decisions and configuration. Our solution allows the self-configuration, self-provisioning and self-monitoring of service as well as the proactive service level agreement management.
