Distributed Management to Services Deployment in Autonomic Networks

We propose, in this paper, an adaptation of the "profilesmodel" model by using the peer-to-peer networks approach to distributed information needed for deployment tasks. This approach proposes some modifications to our initial model [7], but the principle is the same: To deploy/execute a service, the user sends a request in the networks, and system management gives the equipments which can be candidates for this execution by using equipment profiles, and one service profile is created (when service is deployed). By using a super-peer approach, ProfilesModel enables us to represent the properties and the resources available in the super-peer domain. To represent shared information, we introduce the new concept of "GroupProfile". Thus, each super- peer gathers all the profiles of the belonging to underlying networks in an information base. This information is shared among the peer nodes to decide where service must be deployed/installed.
