Autonomic fault management based on cognitive control loops

Abstract

This paper presents an efficient fault management approach based on cognitive control loops in order to support autonomic network management for the Future Internet. The cognitive control loops determines urgency of network alarms, processes urgent alarms more quickly, and then infers root causes of the problems based on learning and reasoning. We show that we reduce a number of alarms by correlation and detect alarm priorities using an ontology model based on the policy.
