Abstract
Management of next generation networks (NGNs) and next generation services is affected by the Internet and its new business models demands. As clear examples of this change are web services [W3C-WebServices] and most recently the emerging cloud services. As a result, new operations, service descriptions and management functions supporting communications systems are necessaries alike the organization of data seeking information interoperability. This chapter presents the conceptual mechanisms for representing and governing the various aspects of the service lifecycle introducing autonomic management principles. These aspects affect both the organizational view of the service lifecycle and its operational behaviour, and use semantic control in each to achieve interoperability in the information necessary to control and manage pervasive services. This chapter refers to using semantic information to govern the management operations for controlling the entire service lifecycle using ontologies to provide self-management operations.
