A Proof of Concept Architecture for Self- Configuring Autonomic Systems

Reconfigurability is the collection of software and cognitive radio technologies that aims to differentiate user perception in volatile radio conditions while optimizing the use of network resources. This paper presents a proof of concept implementation of the end-to-end management and control system architecture being developed in E2R II project based on the concept of a Reconfiguration Management Plane. In addition, extensive experimentation has been carried out in order to validate of the applicability of the proposed ideas and accompanying technologies in real life scenarios.
