Abstract
A service assignment apparatus sets an appropriate service in a service-request-incompatible apparatus as a network element so as to guarantee the service in the entire network. A service-request-compatible apparatus processes a received network-service request, and provides a service. A network-information collection unit in the service assignment apparatus collects information on a service-provision state of the service-request-compatible apparatus. A target-apparatus determination unit determines a service-request-incompatible apparatus based on the collected information on the service-provision state. A service mapping unit determines a service which the service-request-incompatible apparatus can provide, based on the information on the service-provision state and information on the determined service-request-incompatible apparatus. A service setting unit sets the service in the service-request-incompatible apparatus.
