Abstract

Self-management is an emerging idea in charging system research taken over from autonomic computing to address the complexity problem of system deployment, maintenance and administration and to improve the performance and flexibility of the charging system what will as a whole eventually decrease its total cost of ownership. In this paper, we describe a mechanism for charging system self-configuration when new network or service elements that record charging information are added as well as for charging system self-optimisation during every-day operation.
