Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A closed loop system is described for enhanced adaptive network capabilities in support of workflow missions. Multiple workflow-locked loops with different sampling rates are employed. A faster, lower loop is employed to gather data from the field and deal with network level exceptions such as faults, fades, and changing conditions. A slower, upper loop is employed to handle mission level exceptions. The result is a system capable of integrating management of multiple workflow missions, including reallocation of resources in response to changes in mission goal statements and network resource availability.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for facilitating adaptation of at least one software-controllable communications network comprising: a translation module, the translation module operative to translate at least one mission goal statement to a policy statement; a controller, the controller operative in response to the policy statement to configure the software-controllable network; a first workflow-locked loop between the translation module and the controller, the first work…
