Abstract
The tremendous development of Internet
infrastructures as well as communication technologies
has led to an increase in network management
complexity. Autonomic control is one way to manage
complexity. Policy Based Management Systems (PBMS)
provide a consistent model for decision making using a
set of abstractions (i.e., to manage the system in a manner
that is independent from the complexities of low level
network technologies). In this paper, we develop a
hierarchical bio-inspired PBMS based on mechanisms for
organism regulation that supports self-organisation and
self-management at different levels of the hierarchy. We
employ this mechanism towards network management of
autonomic communications systems.
