System and method for enabling intelligent network services by cognitive sense-analyze-decide-respond framework

A sense analyze decide respond (SADR) system (100) with a cognitive platform to enable network aware applications and applications aware networks, comprising:

• a memory (102) storing instructions;
• one or more communication interfaces (104);
• and
• one or more hardware processors (106) coupled to the memory (102) via the one or more communication interfaces (104), wherein the one or more hardware processors (106) are configured by the instructions to:
• sense, at least one application parameter and at least one network parameter to obtain a plurality of sensed information, wherein the plurality of sensed information is a multi-time scaled data set obtained for a plurality of use cases;
• analyze, the plurality of sensed information being filtered and synchronized to generate a plurality of derived parameters, wherein analyzing is performed through a middle layer placed between a network controller and an application and wherein the middle layer comprises at least one of:
• (a) data store module executed by the hardware processor to store state information, requests, devices information, policy;
• (b) core module executed by the hardware processor to provide services to applications and translation to low device level operations;
• (c) monitor module executed by the hardware processor to monitor devices, network, topology, statistics collection;
• (d) Quality of Service Module executed by the hardware processor configured to perform path provisioning, traffic engineering, policy management;
• (e) Virtualization Module executed by the hardware processor for Virtualization of devices, Network Functions Virtualization (NFV);
• (f) Infra assistant for device configurations and states;
• and (g) network assistant for network services;
• determine, a plurality of rules based on the plurality of derived parameters;
• validate, the plurality of rules for a plurality of scenarios to obtain a plurality of decisions, wherein the plurality of decisions correspond to a real-time decision or an off-line decision and wherein the validation is performed by an emulator based testing and wherein the sensed information and synthetic data generated by emulation are used for modeling, training and decision making and wherein the emulator is configured to check at least one of (i) one or more scenario, (ii) throughput, (iii) existing rules and methods and generate new rules or algorithms;
• and
• enable, at least one of (i) a network, (ii) an application and (iii) a protocol control based on the plurality of decisions.
