Abstract:

In view of the new service scenarios and the demand for high intelligence network in computing and network convergence (CNC), the concept of autonomous CNC (Auto-CNC) is elaborated, where intelligence was introduced into all the aspects of CNC, including resource integration, process automation, and system intelligence.The current research directions and remaining challenges of CNC were introduced, and three key features, i.e., intent-driven computing network, the autonomous system operation and the adaptive co-evolution of communication, computing intelligence, were summarized from the proposed Auto-CNC.Meanwhile, the reference architecture and key technologies of Auto-CNC were described, which were followed by several preliminary exploration cases.Finally, future research trends and technical advice were discussed and recommended.

Key words: autonomous CNC, intent-driven, adaptive co-evolution, autonomous operation
