Communications networks are being transformed in a trend where software plays a central role in the design, operations, and management of the network to deliver a multiplicity of new services and applications. The scale, diversity, and dynamicity of emerging applications call for a management system that is effective in delivering applications while dynamically adjusting to changes in demand and requirements. Policy-based management has the potential to provide the management in this new network environment. This research project addresses key research challenges to achieve this potential for policy-based management by developing dynamic policy definition and conflict detection and resolution, and by leveraging self-managing and machine learning technologies. The research will generate new designs for PBM that meet the requirements of service providers, such as our partner TELUS, but also meet the requirements of Internet of Things and smart city applications, which represent two areas of massive commercial opportunity. By conducting this research in Canada we will generate knowledge and prepare graduates that will benefit our partner TELUS in their future operations, as well as Canada in terms of IoT commercialization and deployment of smart city applications.

通信网络正在发生变革，软件在网络的设计、运营和管理中发挥着核心作用，以提供多种新服务和应用。新兴应用程序的规模、多样性和动态性要求管理系统能够有效地交付应用程序，同时动态调整以适应需求和要求的变化。基于策略的管理有潜力在这个新的网络环境中提供管理。该研究项目通过开发动态策略定义、冲突检测和解决以及利用自我管理和机器学习技术，解决了实现基于策略的管理潜力的关键研究挑战。 该研究将为 PBM 生成新的设计，不仅满足我们的合作伙伴 TELUS 等服务提供商的要求，而且还满足物联网和智慧城市应用的要求，这两个领域代表着巨大的商业机会。通过在加拿大进行这项研究，我们将产生知识并培养毕业生，这将有利于我们的合作伙伴 TELUS 的未来运营，以及加拿大的物联网商业化和智慧城市应用的部署。
