1 Scope
Proofs of Concept are an important tool to demonstrate the viability of a new technology during its early days and or
pre-standardisation phase. The present document defines a framework to coordinate and promote multivendor Proofs of
Concept (PoC) projects illustrating key aspects of the autonomic management and control technology [i.1].
The main objectives of this PoC framework are:
• to ensure the PoC projects are scoped around relevant topics;
• to ensure that the PoC results, lessons learnt and identified gaps are feedback to the AFI working group of TC
NTECH;
• to build confidence on the viability of autonomic management and control technology;
• to encourage the development of a diverse and open ecosystem by fostering the integration of components
from different players;
• to support standardization activities of the AFI working group of TC NTECH.
This framework describes:
• the different roles and responsibilities in the PoC process;
• the PoC process;
• the acceptance criteria for PoC Proposals and Reports.
