Abstract
Network management operation will get increasingly more difficult in next generation and Future Internet scenarios due to many factors, such as mobility and the need for context-awareness. This position paper argues that the increasing complexity in business, system, and other operations can only be managed by making the systems aware of their own operations. This is shown by describing how self-awareness is implemented in the FOCALE autonomic architecture.
