Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a new paradigm, which emerged in the innovation for future networks and has been successfully applied in many scenarios including Campus/Enterprise network and Data Center network. By extending the concept of SDN and autonomicity to the design of versatile network infrastructures, especially to the design of a carrier grade network, we propose AMA, which is an autonomic management architecture for SDN-based multi-services network. AMA is designed and implemented by utilizing autonomic management and network virtualization technologies. We believe that AMA can support more application types, and can be used to build a more flexible network.
