Background

Network service providers are facing the challenge of managing increasingly complex multi-domain IP-optical networks. The traditional management of these separate IP and optical layers, often across multiple administrative domains with different policies, leads to significant inefficiencies and difficulty in ensuring resilient, high-quality services. The lack of a unified, automated approach to coordinate these disparate layers and domains has become a major obstacle, driving the need for more sophisticated solutions to handle the growing demands of modern networking.

Problem Statement

MINDFul.jl is an open source Framework for Intent-driven Multi-Domain Network coordination that aims to research coordination algorithms using intent directed-acyclic graphs. Within this work, you are asked to investigate and evaluate literature solutions and algorithms in the field.. More specifically, you will need to:
