Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
