Abstract

QoS policy management architecture supporting the specification and automated configuration of QoS policies for mobile and fixed users in heterogeneous Internet environment based on Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is discussed. The new focus is to provide management interfaces for ontology based user centric policy specification, as well as automated dependency analysis, adaptation and optimisation of policies of different actors. Users can specify their own QoS policies, which are processed according SLAs, translated into policy repository presentations and used for automated configuration of QoS mechanisms. The hierarchical QoS policy framework involves mapping of business to unified and technology dependent QoS policies. The policy repository serves for storage, translation, evaluation and adaptation of the policies of different actors. Ontology-oriented policy management interfaces allow the efficient support of user-centric QoS policy scenarios.
