| *Modelling Context- and Business-aware Services* |
| |
| The 5th IEEE International Workshop on Modelling |
| Autonomic Communication environments (MACE 2010) will be held |
| october 28, 2010 in niagara falls, Canada. The workshop is |
| sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, technical Committee |
| on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). this year, mace |
| will be co-located with the international conference on network |
| and Service Management (CNSM), the successor of the MANWEEK conference |
| series. |
| |
| Multi-vendor environments and the services that they provide |
| have dramatically increased the system and business |
| complexity of communications environments. The inherent |
| heterogeneity of network device programming models will be |
| exacerbated by future service offerings, which demand the ability |
| to react to changing user needs, business objectives, and |
| environmental changes in an efficient and cost -effective manner. We |
| define autonomic management as the ability for a system to use |
| knowledge engineering techniques to model itself and the environment |
| in which it is operating. Models of context-awareness, behaviour, |
| and orchestration are an important means of managing complexity |
| and realising business goals. more importantly, models that can |
| evolve in response to new and/or learned information enable the |
| system to adapt to new usage patterns and business rules. this |
| enables the autonomic system to self-govern its behaviour within the |
| constraints of the business goals that are currently applicable. |
| |
| the mace workshop will focus on the use of information and |
| data modelling, as well as knowledge representation and |
| inferencing, to represent adaptive and self-aware devices, systems, |
| and networks. MACE addresses current and future network management |
| by focusing on how to represent and use knowledge to provide |
| adaptive, context-aware management, to learn and adjust to user and |
| environmental behaviour, and to orchestrate services using context |
| -aware policy-based management systems, which use modelled knowledge |
| to dynamically generate code to automatically reconfigure network |
| elements in response to changing context. |
| |
| The 2010 MACE workshop will continue to provide a platform |
| for discussing latest trends, work-in-progress as well as |
| demonstrations, evaluations and simulations. we encourage |
| academic and industry researchers and practitioners, as well as |
| students, to submit their models, concepts, ideas and designs. |
