Context-aware autonomic QoS model for future Internet

With the rapid expansion of Internet applications and network infrastructure, Internet is facing many technical challenges. Autonomicity is proposed as one of candidate technologies to solve the Internet management problems. In this paper, a context-aware autonomic QoS model is proposed to improve the Internet manageability. Some key design principles based on the EFIPSANS GANA reference model are introduced. The framework and function blocks of context-aware autonomic QoS model are described in detail. This design has been approved by the implementation of the self-* functionalities testbed.
