“…However, the rules are attached to the IT management domain and, so their replication on the network management domain is hard. Other approaches [ 6 , 7 ] transformed user requests expressed in NL into PDDL for facing telecommunications services issues. Despite the use of NL and its integration with AP, these approaches present several drawbacks.…”

“…In several domains like information technologies and telecommunications, diverse approaches [ 5 , 6 , 7 ] have been proposed to automatically translate policies expressed in natural language (NL) into AP-goals. Nevertheless, as these approaches use translation rules fitted to their domains, their adaptability to other ones is constrained.…”

Realizing autonomic management control loops is pivotal for achieving self-driving networks. Some studies have recently evidence the feasibility of using Automated Planning (AP) to carry out these loops. However, in practice, the use of AP is complicated since network administrators, who are non-experts in Artificial Intelligence, need to define network management policies as AP-goals and combine them with the network status and network management tasks to obtain AP-problems. AP planners use these problems to build up autonomic solutions formed by primitive tasks that modify the initial network state to achieve management goals. Although recent approaches have investigated transforming network management policies expressed in specific languages into low-level configuration rules, transforming these policies expressed in natural language into AP-goals and, subsequently, build up AP-based autonomic management loops remains unexplored. This paper introduces a novel approach, called NORA, to automatically generate AP-problems by translating Goal Policies expressed in natural language into AP-goals and combining them with both the network status and the network management tasks. NORA uses Natural Language Processing as the translation technique and templates as the combination technique to avoid network administrators to learn policy languages or AP-notations. We used a dataset containing Goal Policies to evaluate the NORA’s prototype. The results show that NORA achieves high precision and spends a short-time on generating AP-problems, which evinces NORA aids to overcome barriers to using AP in autonomic network management scenarios.

Open-source software has helped opening the software market to different players, usually cut off by licenses of expensive software packages. We claim that in the Built Environment a similar open source disruption can happen by putting together different projects in a software architecture based on open data standards. This paper describes the main open-source components of such software architecture, the Smart Building Controller (SBC) that we are developing, and possible future applications.

“…However, several important issues are open: i) To map user request and context to a service is a big challenge, especially a when the service does not have a standard interface description like in telecommunications domain, many semantic approaches translate requests to formal representations using natural language processing techniques and ontologies. These approaches have good performance in specific domains [109]. The main idea is extract concepts from the user request and match them with service concepts [110].…”

“…This high number of services turns complex the use of traditional methods, such as SCEs and MDEs, for creating convergent services. Therefore, some of the research approaches analyzed here specially the group of approaches based on automated planning may be used for discovering convergent services in Telecom infrastructure; for example, Ordonez et al [109] present a framework for including automated composition approaches based on automated planning in Telecommunications scenarios. On the other hand, recent algorithms such as [147] [148], a uses mechanisms for reducing the services search space by pruning candidates by dominance relationships and constraint validations at candidate level.…”

A convergent service is defined as a service that exploits the convergence of communication networks and at the same time takes advantage of features of the Web. Nowadays, building up a convergent service is not trivial, because although there are significant approaches that aim to automate the service composition at different levels in the Web and Telecom domains, selecting the most appropriate approach for specific case studies is complex due to the big amount of involved information and the lack of technical considerations. Thus, in this paper, we identify the relevant phases for convergent service composition and explore the existing approaches and their associated technologies for automating each phase. For each technology, the maturity and results are analysed, as well as the elements that must be considered prior to their application in real scenarios. Furthermore, we provide research directions related to the convergent service composition phases.
