Ontology-based semantics for composable autonomic elements

The complexity of modern communication networks requires an autonomic approach, where elements exhibit a degree of self-management which when combined provide a level of self-management for the network as a whole. The heterogeneity of elements however prompts a knowledge driven approach to their definition, composition and management in order to address problems of semantic interoperability. This paper proposes a semantic service based approach to the definition of elements in an autonomic network in order to enable ontological reasoning in support of composable self-management functions.
