Abstract :
The management of large-scale 3G and 4G wireless systems, such as ambient networks (AN), in the Internet is a challenge, due to their inherent heterogeneous and distributed nature. In this paper we present our experience with the design and implementation of PBMAN, a Policy-based Management framework for AN, which gives special attention to network composition. We discuss the main choices as well as the lessons we learned during this process and the next steps.
