The
fields of network management and
service management are converging. Service providers are looking for
new ways
to automate their operations to enable faster deployment of new digital
services across converging physical landscapes. The complexity of
achieving
this goal is further compounded with
the added
requirement of reduced operator expenditure. This generates a set of
challenging research questions including the provision of dynamic
cross-layer
SLAs.
The
creation of a next generation converged networking environments has
started with numerous examples, and it
is drawing
together both fixed-wireless networking and the information technology
communities. In this workshop we are focusing on the autonomic
aspect of service-aware network management in the context of emerging changes in the
networking
plane. The theme of Service
Centric Network Management has been selected to encompass characteristics
of new
services and the implications they have on the network management plane.
It also relates to the ability of the
application-services landscape to be more in tune via real-time control
feedback with the capabilities of the network to support varying
QoS/QoE
parameters.
The DANMS
workshop series focuses on distributed
and autonomous principles for network management and applications of
those
principles in network design. This year’s workshop emphasizes Service
Centric Network Management considering the impact on the
system,
across the
whole information flow from service creation to deployment in the
network.
