In this project we developed a flexible, organic and adaptable business intelligence architecture named Complex Organic Distributed Architecture (CODA) and successfully demonstrated its application for intelligent reconfiguration of wireless mobile networks.
CODA represents a new generation of decision-making system that includes a means of monitoring and controlling objectives to allow the enterprise to evolve dynamically with a certain degree of autonomy. It applies a theoretical foundation for modelling evolutionary enterprises provided by (organic) principles, defined by the Viable System Model. CODA's intelligent structures are based on business intelligence concepts. CODA separates the intelligent information system into five functionally distinct layers; each supported by a data warehouse component and an intelligent component.
Each data warehouse component is separated by filter components, which restructure data into formats suitable for the information processing functions to be performed. This approach is based on the way that organic systems manage complex and adaptive behaviour. The advantages of CODA are that it is intuitively easy to manage, and supports complex evolution by using data intelligently. At the same time, CODA minimises information flow between the system components and provides sufficient component autonomy.
There is no doubt that the self-learning approach developed during this research has far reaching applications, and will benefit the intelligent management of future wireless communication systems.
