Management and orchestration rely on enforcing complex policies derived from mapping high-level intents, expressed as Service-Level Agreements (SLAs), into low-level actions to be deployed on the network. Such mapping is human-made and frequently leads to errors. This paper proposes the AGility in Intent-based management of service-level agreement Refinements (AGIR) system for implementing automated intent-based management in Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN). The proposed system is modular and relies on Natural Language Processing (NLP) to allow operators to specify Service-Level Objectives (SLOs) for the RAN to fulfill without explicitly defining how to achieve these SLOs. It is possible because the AGIR system translates imprecise intents into configurable network instructions, detecting conflicts among the received intents. To develop the conflict detection module, we propose to use two deep neural network models, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU). The deep neural network model determines whether intents and policies are conflicting. Our results reveal that the proposed system reaches more than 80% recall in detecting conflicting intents when deploying an LSTM model with 256 neurons.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50761,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Telecommunications","volume":"79 9-10","pages":"693 - 706"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140925789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ratio between XSS attacks on websites and cookie theft through XSS attacks is 5:1. It is crucial to persist in studying and introducing novel methods or tools to address this problem and provide better protection against cookie hijacking through XSS attacks.
