Abstrakt: A new method is proposed to automatically generate the network control specifications necessary for executing services in a network from communications service specifications by using a knowledge of virtual resource that expresses logical functions in a network. Because these communication service specifications are described by observable terminal behaviors, the communication service specifications can be described without detailed knowledge of the network. The conventional stepwise description for network control specifications is manually performed for each network architecture. Then an expert, who has thorough knowledge of networks, must make a detailed design to comply with the requests of network architecture. Then an expert, who has thorough knowledge of internal networks, must make a detailed design to comply with the requests of network architecture. An expert can define in advance the relationship between a service state and a virtual resource and the relationship between a state transition of a virtual resource and task components and can store this knowledge in a database. Communications service specifications can be described without detailed knowledge of the network, and the network control specifications of the network can be derived from the communication service specifications.
