Machine learning-based zero-touch network and service management:a survey

The exponential growth of mobile applications and services during the last years has challenged the existing network infrastructures.Consequently,the arrival of multiple management solutions to cope with this explosion along the end-to-end network chain has increased the complexity in the coordinated orchestration of different segments composing the whole infrastructure.The Zero-touch Network and Service Management(ZSM)concept has recently emerged to automatically orchestrate and manage network resources while assuring the Quality of Experience(QoE)demanded by users.Machine Learning(ML)is one of the key enabling technologies that many ZSM frameworks are adopting to bring intelligent decision making to the network management system.This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art application of ML-based techniques to improve ZSM performance.To this end,the main related standardization activities and the aligned international projects and research efforts are deeply examined.From this dissection,the skyrocketing growth of the ZSM paradigm can be observed.Concretely,different standardization bodies have already designed reference architectures to set the foundations of novel automatic network management functions and resource orchestration.Aligned with these advances,diverse ML techniques are being currently exploited to build further ZSM developments in different aspects,including multi-tenancy management,traffic monitoring,and architecture coordination,among others.However,different challenges,such as the complexity,scalability,and security of ML mechanisms,are also identified,and future research guidelines are provided to accomplish a firm development of the ZSM ecosystem.

Call for papers International Conference on Service Systems and Service Management

Service is an emerging sector for economic growth in the 21st century. It covers our daily life and almost all industries, from medical care to the production of high-tech products. A nation＇s economic evolution highly relies on its service systems and service management. The production of a product in a manufacturing plant may be interrupted because of the shortage of required components caused by an unreliable logistics service. The living standard of people in a country may be degraded because of its ineffective medical care system. In the information era where the industrialized world is no longer characterized by scarcity of merchandises, service and quality of life have become the primary focus for social and economic development.

A high-level architecture for a Geomatics Informatization Technology System: the Chinese case

China will,as a component of‘Digital Earth,’establish a Geomatics Informatization Technology System(GITS)which is characterized by real-time acquisition,automatic processing,networking service,and socialized application with fundamental geographical information.The basic composition of GITS is proposed.GITS covers four layers and six platforms.The four layers are data acquisition,processing,management,and application and services.The six platforms are informatic geodetic datum,high-precision geo-spatial data acquisition,automatic geo-spatial data processing,grid-based geo-spatial information management,comprehensive geo-spatial information sharing and service,and geo-spatial information integration and application.The informatic geodetic datum platform provides a carrier for all the four layers and a base for the other five platforms.The high-precision geo-spatial data acquisition platform belongs to the acquisition layer.The automatic geo-spatial data processing platform belongs to the processing layer.The grid-based geo-spatial information management platform belongs to the management layer and is a bridge connecting geospatial data acquisition and spatial information sharing service and integrated applications.The comprehensive geo-spatial information sharing and service platform belongs to the application and service layer.Finally,this paper presents thoughts for constructing GITS.
