Abstract
Self-management is expected to motivate significant research efforts, both in academia and in industry, because of the apparent benefits it can offer. Future networks and systems will transparently integrate self-management capabilities, relieving users and managers from painstaking tasks. As research progresses, the current separation of self-* properties in configuration, healing, optimization and protection will diminish, gracefully amalgamating all in a Self-maintaining operation. We envision a policy-based system as a future-proof solution, where business objectives and user preferences will be encapsulated in policies. Context-awareness will provide secure and accurate feedback to the system, assisting in fully customized and personalized user experience. Eventually policies and context will vanish inside systems, allowing users to enjoy truly ubiquitous networking.
