Abstract
This paper describes Aesop, a semantically-enhanced approach for optimizing telecommunication networks to manage over-the-top end-user services such as web-browsing and video-streaming, according to the experience expectations of individual users. Aesop is built using technologies already available in the semantic ecosystem. In this paper, we explain our semantic approach to this problem domain and describe how we applied semantic technologies in the design and implementation of our system. We give an overview of an implementation and evaluation of Aesop. We describe our experiences in using semantic technologies, and explore the potential and limitations of semantic technologies in the telecommunication management domain.
