Patent Images

1. A system, comprising:

  • a data store configured to store an image of a network element, wherein the image of the network element comprises one or more objectives of the network element, one or more capabilities of the network element, one or more rules of the network element, or one or more algorithms of the network element, one or more configurations of the network element, and an environment of the network element, wherein the one or more rules of the network element include one or more security constraints; and

    a processor configured to;

    filter information contained in an orchestrator associated with the network element;

    provide the filtered information from the orchestrator associated with the network element to a conductor, wherein the conductor is configured to;

    translate the filtered information from a language specific to the network element into a meta-language used by the conductor;

    monitor the behavior associated with a plurality of orchestrators, wherein each orchestrator of the plurality of orchestrators is associated with a corresponding network element;

    identify a different network element to fulfill the one or more objectives associated with the network element;

    monitor global environment information, wherein the global environment information is combined with the filtered information to generate a set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions are translated from the meta-language used by the conductor into the language specific to the network element and into the language specific to the identified network element; and

    provide the set of instructions to the orchestrator associated with the network element and an orchestrator associated with the identified network element, wherein the set of instructions provided to the orchestrator associated with the network element is provided in the language specific to the network element and the set of instructions provided to the orchestrator associated with the identified network element is provided in the language specific to the identified network element;

    receive the set of instructions from the conductor; and

    update the image of the network element based on the received set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions include at least one of one or more new rules, one or more new objectives, one or more new algorithms, or one or more new environment data.
