Abstract

The introduction of software-defined networking and network functions virtualisation brings many advantages. Nonetheless, the flexibility and programmability characteristics expected in such technologies require new operation components in the control and management layers. The quick failure recovery in these layers is essential because, without control or management, the data plane is also inoperable. This paper summarises a thesis that explores the self-healing autonomic computing fundamental as a solution for managing such layers. The results prove self-healing efficiency in network slices with strict quality of service requirements and demonstrate that the proposed solution can heal the degraded environment and heal itself.
