The information and communications technologies world is migrating towards the Future Internet (FI) era. Operators will have increased complexity to address in the FI era, compared to today, in the management of their infrastructure and services. This is due to the extended set of applications that should be supported and to the more options offered by the infrastructure. Cognitive management systems are seen as a viable direction for basing the management of the FI era, due to their “self-management” and “learning” features. In this respect, this paper discusses on application and business-driven requirements, the capabilities of the infrastructure, the potentials of cognitive management systems, and challenges that have to be addressed for their introduction.
