“…Relatively little work has been done on how management systems can be federated across management domains to provide end-to-end management of communications services [6]. Current network management systems do perform some coordination across domains, but this is limited in scope to a small number of pre-defined information exchanges.…”

“…It also means that services are both executed and managed within network execution environments and that both the services and the network resources can be managed uniformly in an integrated way. Uniform management allows services and networks to harmonize their decisions and actions [14]. The design of both networks and services is moving forward to include higher levels of automation, and autonomicity, which includes self-management.…”

“…Federated refers to the ability of a system to enable network and service management as result of threading negotiations for evolving value chains composed of providers and/or consumers [14]. Autonomic reflects the ability of such systems to be aware of both themselves and their environment, so that they can self-govern their behaviour within the constraints of the business goals that they collectively seek to achieve.…”

“…In the current Internet typical large enterprise systems contain thousands of physically distributed software components that communicate across different networks [27] to satisfy end-to-end services client requests. Given the possibility of multiple network connection points for the components cooperating to serve a request (e.g., the components may be deployed in different data centres), and the diversity on service demand and network operating conditions, it is very difficult avoid conflicts [14][20] [28] between different monitoring and management systems to provide effective end-toend applications managing the network. The Figure 2 depicts the federated autonomic reference model service life cycle for the Future Internet.…”

Abstract. The Future Internet as a design conception is network and serviceaware addressing social and economic trends in a service oriented way. In the Future Internet, applications transcend disciplinary and technology boundaries following interoperable reference model(s). In this paper we discuss issues about federated management targeting information sharing capabilities for heterogeneous infrastructure. In Future Internet architectures, service and network requirements act as design inputs particularly on information interoperability and cross-domain information sharing. An inter-operable, extensible, reusable and manageable new Internet reference model is critical for Future Internet realisation and deployment. The reference model must rely on the fact that highlevel applications make use of diverse infrastructure representations and not use of resources directly. So when resources are not being required to support or deploy services they can be used in other tasks or services. As implementation challenge for controlling and harmonising these entire resource management requirements, the federation paradigm emerges as a tentative approach and potentially optimal solution. We address challenges for a future Internet Architecture perspective using federation. We also provide, in a form of realistic implementations, research results and solutions addressing rationale for federation, all this activities are developed under the umbrella of federated management activity in the Future Internet.

The complexity and dynamicity of networks con tinue to increase. Furthermore, specialization of network oper ations, the de-regulation of vertically integrated network oper ators, new demands from end users, as well as new business models for Over-The-Top players, give rise to new challenges and emphasizes that networking becomes ever more dynamic and organic in nature. To address these trends the research community has been investigating how to integrate management capabilities into the networks in order to meet the foremost re quirements on reduced OPEX, but also to enable faster responses to agile business operations for the support of new value chains, applications, and services. These management capabilities are however envisaged as an add-on to the existing functionality. This would impose scalability, performance, and extensibility issues when such capabilities are deployed incrementally and ad-hoc.In this paper, we give an overview of selected recent advances in network architectures supporting self-management capabilities, and identify both their strengths and their limitations. This analysis provides input for a definition of the requirements and core properties for networks to become inherently self-managed.We then outline a generic model termed the "Netcell" that seeks to support the identified requirements and core properties.
