Abstract(in English) In recent years, researches on autonomous network operation have been actively pursued for flexible and rapid utilization of networks in various industries. To make such an autonomous scheme, it is required to change its behavior according to changes of network situation. However, current research does not provide means for users to confirm or verify the behaviors of the autonomous operation function. We concern that the problem will become a barrier to practical usage. The scheme is required that not only to automate network monitoring and execution of maintenance works but also to automate planning of its behaviors. Therefore, we propose an operation plan which describes behaviors of an operation function and its automated generation method in this research. Our method enables users to generate network operation plan from abstract network intent. Then, the users can confirm and verify the plan, before delegating the operation to the automated operation functions. In this paper, we propose the outline of the automated operation plan generation method, and we discuss the effectiveness of our method by comparing the operation process based on the proposed method and the manual operation process.
