Inferring Cloud-Network Slice’s Requirements from Non-Structured Service Description

To support future 5G computing and communication scenarios, cloud-network management tools should deploy cloud-network services adopting uncomplicated ways, reducing not only the time to market but also broadening the community capable of deploying new services. In this paper, we present the support of NECOS Platform, an EU-Brazil jointly funded project, towards slice-as-a-service creation from non-structured service description. We describe how NECOS architecture allows such functionality during the slice creation loop, and we present the initial efforts we took for structuring such a mechanism.
