Towards automated service-oriented lifecycle management for 5G networks

5G networks will be a key enabler for the Internet of Things by providing a platform for connecting a massive number of devices with heterogeneous sets of network quality requirements. In this environment, 5G network operators will have to solve the complex challenge of managing network services for diverse customer sectors (such as automotive, health or energy) with different requirements throughout their lifecycle.
