Application of Cognitive Techniques to Network Management and Control

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 288))

Abstract

This paper describes the latest communications technologies emphasizing the need of dynamic network control and real-time management operations. It is advocated that many such operations can profit from cognitive learning based techniques that could drive many management or control operations. In that context a short overview of selected networking approaches like 3GPP Self Organizing Networks, Autonomic Network Management and Software-Defined Networking, with some references to existing cognitive approaches is given.
