Network Slice Life-Cycle Management Towards Automation

We present a method of orchestrating end-to-end network slices and managing their life-cycle. Through this method, we propose management and orchestration processes and operations and describe them one by one in order to provide a global view applicable to different scenarios.The proposed solution is based on software modeling of services and resources which allows a customized software design and an intelligent and optimized deployment over heterogenous IT and Network ressources modeled as graph databases.
