Researcher CV

The “Policy-based Autonomic Management of Home Area Networks and Services” research programme addresses the essence of Autonomic Management using policies, which is the ability for a system to self-govern its behaviour within the constraints of the user requirements that the system as a whole seeks to achieve. It aims to develop a reference architectural framework for policy refinement, which will facilitate the policy specification, transformation, and deployment of low policies in the system in line with high level user goals, but without the requirement for significant human intervention. Fundamental part of the work is the use of policies to manage the network and the information modelling to capture knowledge relating to network capabilities, environmental constraints and user goals/policies, together with ontological engineering to provide inferencing capabilities. This foundation is supplemented by reasoning and learning mechanisms to enhance and evolve this knowledge. Policy-based network management systems incorporating translation/code generation will use this knowledge to automatically configure network elements in response to changing business goals and/or environmental context. This realises an autonomic control loop, in which the system senses changes in itself and its environment, analyses these data to ensure that business goals and objectives are being met; expedites changes should these goals and objectives be threatened, and observes the result to ensure that closed-loop operation is maintained.
