Activities
Autonomic Communications (called AutoComm hereafter) represents the vision of autonomy of
communication networks with minimum human administration.
In such communication self-management paradigm, the networks and
their elements strive to realize efficiency, immunity, resilience
and evolvability through endogenous self-optimization, self-protection,
self-healing, self-adaptation and self-configuration. By encapsulating
complexity within the networks, promoting the intelligence of communication
systems, and using technology to manage technology, human administration
complexity can be greatly reduced while management efficiency can be maximized.
Since the degree of user intervention and interactions is kept at a minimum,
human administrators can reside at high-level by specifying only abstract
management objectives.
