An application’s Quality of Service (QoS) requirements refers to non-functional, run-time requirements. These requirements are usually soft in that the application is functionally correct even if the QoS requirement is not satisfied at run-time. QoS requirements are dynamic in that for a specific application, they change. The ability to satisfy an application’s QoS requirement depends on the av...

Policy-based management can guide the behavior of a network or distributed system through high-level declarative directives that are dynamically introduced, checked for consistency, refined, and evaluated, resulting typically in a series of low-level actions. We actually view policies as a means of extending the functionality of management systems dynamically, in conjunction with preexisting ha...
