Abstract

In this chapter, we present the Organic Network Control (ONC) architecture, which is based on a three-layered Observer/Controller-Architecture and the usage of Evolutionary Algorithms. Without touching the internal behavior of the protocol itself, this approach allows for the automatic adaptation of protocol parameters towards a changing environment at runtime. Based on the background of related work, we will first describe the generic ONC architecture, followed by a step by step description of how to apply this concept to an existing system. Two examples are explained of how ONC can be applied to existing protocols and what effect this application has on the system’s performance. Finally, the chapter concludes with an outline of current and future work and a summary of the concept.
