Solution

Providing systems and networks with autonomic behaviors, which means immigrating towards self-management systems

Autonomous Nervous System (ANS)

Autonomic Systems inspired from Autonomous Nervous System

IBM definition

Proposed by IBM in 2001An autonomic system is a self-management systemFundamental properties:

self-configuration self-optimization self-healing self-protection

10

purpose-driven definition

An autonomic system is one that operates and serves its purpose by managing its own self without external intervention even in case of environmental changes

Properties :Self-awareness & context-awarenessAutomaticityAdaptabilityPortable & openness

Architecture Ginkgo

Take into account information from different layers and not necessarily adjacent to obtain a system more adaptable to its environment.

BenefitsOptimizing performance, creation of new

applications, avoid duplication of efforts, etc.A relevant approach for collecting information for

autonomic communicationsSecurity

Two categories:Locale viewGlobal view

Cross-layering based architectures

Profile-based architecture

Service-based architecture

Cross-layering based architectures (vue locale)

MobileMan

Cross-layering based architectures (local view)

Need a global view for optimizationLoad sharing, routing, energy consumption,

etc..CorssTalk: uses both the global view and local

view in order to take local cross-layering decisions

Cross-layering based architectures (local & global view)

Cross-layering based architectures (local & global view): CrossTalk

The local view consists of cross-layering information The local view is added to the end of data packets Each node receiving a packet extract the information and adds

it to its global view Only the source of packet adds some information to the

packet. Reasonable packet size Setting the parameter of distance and time of the information

stored in the global view Samples of the global view are aggregated to represent

relevant information (via some algorithms)

ConclusionAn autonomic system is one that operates and serves its

purpose by managing its own self without external intervention even in case of environmental changes

Autonomic System is a novel and open research paradigm, in relationship with several other fields

AutoI Project: goalsTo improve the management of NGN Two principal axes :

Autonomic Management Virtualisation for flexibility

• A technology which allow coexisting of several virtual networks embedded in a same physical network

To design and develop a self-managing virtual resource overlay that can span across heterogeneous networks, support service mobility, quality of service and reliability.
