Ontology Based Resource Management of Real and Emulated Telecom Systems

Abstract

Because recent heterogeneous telecom networks have developed into complex distributed systems, the management of these systems is more elaborate and resource-consuming. Self-organization of network resource colonies based on semantic associations with logical relations can provide a solution. This paper presents a method for resource management in telecom-distributed testing environments with real and emulated elements. Generic Path is an object-oriented methodology for modeling and engineering of network functions and services. We propose a method for integration of real and emulated testing environments and a network model for resource sharing using a Generic Path and a resource management ontology.
