A Context-Aware Policy Model to Support Autonomic Networking
John Strassner, Yan Liu, Jing Zhang · 2008
Autonomic networking requires that the services and resources offered by the network at any specific time adapt to evolving changes in user needs, business goals and environmental conditions. This paper describes a rich and extensible context-aware policy model as part of the FOCALE autonomic network architecture. This context-aware policy model is built explicitly to support context-awareness that in turn enables the control loops in FOCALE to be adaptive.
