This monograph focuses on the fundamental principles of intent‑based networking (IBN) technology operation and integration for managing 5G and beyond. IBN can not only largely automate processes but also improve connectivity and increase the efficiency of network design, deployment, and management. IBN and Service Management for 5G and Beyond presents new methods, algorithms, and models for applying IBN to solve complex problems such as resource allocation, quality of service/quality of experience (QoS/QoE), process automation, and network security. It explains how IBN works and why IBN is an evolution of software‑defined networking (SDN), and how it can be used for 5G and future networks. This monograph covers the fundamentals of IBN, detailing the main components, deployment methods, and case studies. It presents the challenges and benefits of deploying IBN in a 5G system, managing resources, segmenting the network, and improving QoE. Network automation and the prediction of QoS degradation using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to avoid outages are discussed. Practical recommendations for deploying IBN are offered, and an example of creating a custom open network operating system (ONOS) SDN controller that works in conjunction with user intent is provided. The last chapter is devoted to the security of future networks, threats, and various ways to detect anomalies using network analytics and AI. This monograph will be useful for students, engineers, researchers, and network professionals who want to deploy IBNs in 5G, SDN/network functions virtualization (NFV), Internet of Things (IoT), and the upcoming 6G. Readers will learn how to make networks automated, secure, efficient, and client‑centric.

So-called Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is founded on well-known SDN (Software-Defined Networking) and represents one of the most important emerging network infrastructure opportunities.

This book covers a range of leading-edge topics. It is suitable for teaching specialists for advanced lectures in the domains of systems architecture and distributed platforms. Furthermore, it serves as a basis for undergraduates as well as an inspiration for interesting postgraduates, looking for new challenges. It addresses a holistic view of QoS, which becomes nowadays via Digital Transformations less technically and more socially driven. This includes IoT, energy efficiency, secure transactions, blockchains, and smart contracting.Under the term Emerging Networking (EmN), we cover the steadily growing diversity of smart mobile and robotic apps and unmanned scenarios (UAV). EmN supports distributed intelligence across the combined mobile, wireless, and fixed networks in the edge-to-cloud continuum. The 6G driving factors and potentials in the mid-term are examined. Operative (emergency) networking, which assists rescue troops at sites, also belongs to the above-mentionedproblems. The EmN architecture includes the components of SDN, blockchain, and AI with efficient slicing and cloud support.The design peculiarities in dynamically changing domains, such as Smart Shopping/Office/Home, Context-Sensitive Intelligent apps, are discussed. Altogether, the provided content is technically interesting while still being rather practically oriented and therefore straightforward to understand.This book originated from the close cooperation of scientists from Germany, Ukraine, Israel, Switzerland, Slovak Republic, Poland, Czech Republic, South Korea, China, Italy, North Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, France, Latvia, Greece, Romania, USA, Finland, Morocco, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.We wish all readers success and lots of inspiration from this useful book!
