IDP-VRMA: An intelligent and distributed virtual resource management architecture based on prediction for future networks

For the dynamic virtual environment in future network, varying and abundant service demands on future network requires intelligent resource management capabilities to ensure service delivery to customers, motivating the need to develop a novel virtual resource management architecture for this purpose. In the paper, we propose an intelligent and distributed virtual resource management architecture based on prediction for future network (IDP-VRMA), consist of a Control System, a Knowledge Processing Element and Intelligent Substrate Nodes. Combined with monitoring and prediction capabilities, the IDP-VRMA can perform intelligent virtual resource management in the dynamic virtual environment. Furthermore, we demonstrate the advantages of the proposed architecture by means of functional descriptions.
