Specification and composition of network services in future internet architectures

Published: 10 December 2012 Publication History

Abstract

The inadequacies of the current Internet data and control planes to adapt to changes have given rise to several new proposed Internet architectures. In many cases, these new architectures enable a variety of "services" in the network that can be used to customize network functionality and to add new features after deployment. One key challenge to such network services is that they need to be composed from various networking resources at runtime. Therefore, it is critical to develop methods for accurately specifying the semantics of network services and composing them dynamically. In this article, we propose a service description semantic, discuss how to formalize the service composition problem and use the formalization in conjunction with a logic planner to provide an efficient solution.
