A processing system may obtain an intent comprising a desired network state for a telecommunication network, determine an existing network state, where the desired network state and the existing network state are defined in accordance with a graph representing the telecommunication network, where the graph includes objects and relationships between the plurality of objects, and where each of the objects includes one or more properties. The processing system may compose a strategy that includes a plurality of policies to obtain the desired network state from the existing network state, where each of the policies comprises an action that is to be implemented in the telecommunication network, where the composing comprises performing a state exploration process over the graph, and where each state transition of the process corresponds to one of the policies. The processing system may then implement the strategy to place the telecommunication network in the desired network state.

Network intent synthesis

A system includes one or more processors and a memory. The processor(s) effectuates operations including receiving a query, wherein the query identifies one or more problems in the network. The processor(s) further effectuates operations including retrieving contextual information and problem information, associated with the one or more problems, from a knowledge base and generating a first recommendation list comprising one or more recommendations, wherein each of the one or more recommendations comprises the contextual information or the problem information and at least one course of action. The processor(s) further effectuates operations including receiving a selection of a recommendation from the first recommendation list and updating the knowledge base to include information associated with the selection of the recommendation and generating, in response to a further query, a second recommendation list comprising one or more further recommendations that include further contextual information or further problem information retrieved from the knowledge base.

Network troubleshooting digital assistant system

Disclosed is a system comprising a physical memory, a processor and a software component. The software component includes a policy/domain handler for receiving data and a policy associated with the data; a hypervisor; and a file management module. The file management module receives a request from a third-party application to interact with a data file containing the data; sends an authorization and tag request to the policy/domain handler to check if the user and application are permitted to access the data, and if permitted, to generate hardware tags for the data file; and sends a secure data request to the hypervisor to create a secure data compartment for the data file and the hardware tags. Based on the authorization and tag request, and the security policy associated with the data, the policy/domain handler generates the hardware tags for the data file. Based on the secure data request, the hypervisor creates in the physical memory a secure data compartment containing the data file and the hardware tags, the hypervisor associating the hardware tags with the data in the secure data compartment. As the data is operated upon and moved to other memory areas, the hardware tags are propagated with the data according to tag propagation rules, and checked before performing operations that may lead to security breaches.

System and method for self-protecting data

A system for troubleshooting a network, the system comprising a virtual machine including a virtual central processor in communication with at least one memory, virtual machine including a knowledge base configured to store contextual information related to the network; a knowledge base manager in communication with the knowledge base, the knowledge base manager configured to collect at least one of contextual information and problem information from at least one data source on the network and populate the knowledge base; a problem monitor in communication with the knowledge base and the knowledge base manager, the problem monitor configured to receive the problem information from the knowledge base manager; a query evaluation engine in communication with the knowledge base and the problem monitor; an interface configured to receive a query; and a natural language query translator in communication with the interface and the query evaluation engine; wherein the natural language query translator is configured to provide a natural language query from the interface and transmit the query in a machine readable format to the query evaluation engine; wherein the query evaluation engine collects at least one of the contextual information in the knowledge base and the problem information in the problem manager relevant to the query and generate a recommendation list.

Network trouble shooting digital assistant system

A method includes receiving, via a processor, a query comprising pathway variables and at least one evaluation time and determining an anchor set based on at least one of the pathway variables. The method also includes translating the pathway variables into a pathway algebraic expression based on the anchor set and the at least one evaluation time, and executing the pathway algebraic expression on a graph database to return a pathway set.
