scope:

This Recommendation describes the architecture for autonomic operations support protocols, such as autonomic service provisioning and autonomic data operation specified in Recommendation ITU-T Y.4401, in the Internet of things (IoT) based on the architecture of the IoT specified in Recommendation ITU-T Y.4416, and specifies protocols of supporting autonomic event management, autonomic control, and autonomic policy management based on the IoT functional entities and referenced points extended in [ITU-T Y.4416] in order to support autonomic operations in the IoT.

The scope of this Recommendation includes:

- Architecture of autonomic operations support protocols in the IoT;

- Autonomic event management support protocol (AEM-SP) in the IoT;

- Autonomic control support protocol (AC-SP) in the IoT.

- Autonomic policy management support protocol (APM-SP) in the IoT;

Security of autonomic operations support protocols in IoT specified in this Recommendation is considered, and possible deployment and relevant use cases are described.
