“…In SON research, semantic and logical reasoning have been used for selfoptimization tasks, for example for the conflict handling of SON functions and for defining the inner logic of a SON function. Van der Meer et al [148] have addressed the reasoning of SON policies. They propose using semantic reasoning to resolve inconsistencies between policies and business goals.…”

“…Some works define SON function policies with logical rules [96,97,24,26] and are targeting directly to model the inner logic of single SON functions. The works addressing conflict detection between SON functions with semantic modelling and reasoning [148,109] are partially related to this work as one objective of the effect dependency inference is to reveal conflicts between SON function effects. However, related studies either consider conflicts in configuration parameters [148] or conflicts in the same metric [109], whereas the effect dependency inference presented in this thesis detects indirect conflicts between metrics that are semantically different but correlate in a specific context.…”

The COMPA (Control, Orchestration, Management, Policy, and Analytics) adaptive control loop realizes an automation pattern that can operate recursively at many layers in a carrier network. An overall COMPA autonomic control loop can orchestrate functions, themselves implemented as COMPA autonomic loops. Thus the COMPA automation patter can recurse right down to resource level in a network. One of the most exciting application areas for the COMPA automation pattern is in assuring mobile network security. The recursive nature of the pattern is the ideal mechanism for automating monitoring and root cause analysis of security threats to networks. In this paper we present a Proof of Concept of a COMPA compliant system for a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) scenario. The system monitors, performs root cause analysis, and mitigates a DDoS attack. The system was built by integrating a number of existing components that were deployed as VNFs. Our experiences of using the system were that the system could handle a DDoS attack quickly and automatically. In addition, the system was very flexible to build and deploy.

Abstract-Since the 1970's it has been acknowledged that a complex system can be broken into (a) its invariant functional parts (mechanism), and (b) the externalized choices for how the system should behave (policy). Policy-based management's main objective is to separate and externalize the decisions required by a system from the mechanisms provided by the system, and provide a way to define and evaluate these decisions. A few decades later, we have today a plethora of different policy models and even more policy languages -plus tooling -offering policy-based solutions for virtually any use case and scenario. However, policy-based management as a standalone domain has never been evaluated in terms of which parts are variant / invariant, i.e. which parts of policy-based management can be domain-, model-, language-, usecase-independent. In this paper, we introduce and define a formal universal policy model that does exactly that. The result is a model that can be used to design, implement, and deploy immutable policy infrastructure (engine and executor) being able to execute (virtually) any policy model.
