Abstract:
The trends for pushing more operational intelligence
towards network elements to achieve more context-aware and
self-managing behavior often requires elements to gather
network knowledge without necessarily binding explicitly to all of
the potential sources of that knowledge. Though event-based
publish-subscribe models allow efficient distribution of
knowledge where the event types are known globally, dynamic
service chains, ad hoc networks and pervasive computing
application all introduce a more fluid and heterogeneous range of
context knowledge. This requires some runtime translation of
knowledge between sources and sinks of network context. This
paper builds on existing mapping techniques that use ontological
forms of existing management information models to examine the
extent to which these can be employed for runtime semantic
interoperability for network knowledge. It presents results in
developing a management knowledge delivery framework based
on existing models and platforms, but which offers a more
decentralized knowledge exchange mechanism.
