On developing efficient unmanaged services in Content Aware Networks

This paper proposes advanced functionalities of the service management inside of a Content Aware Networking oriented ecosystem directed to implement unmanaged (without Quality of Service assurance) services. The Service Manager incorporates knowledge about User (profile and context), Content and Network, which allows novel mechanisms focused on the dynamic switching of the content source and delivery path when a fault is located in the server side. The final goal is to improve the complete service life-cycle, with special attention to (media) content delivery process for high quality multimedia experience.
