Providing effective end-to-end resource and QoS management in such complex heterogeneous converged network scenarios requires unified, adaptive and scalable solutions to integrate and co-ordinate diverse QoS mechanisms of different access technologies with IP-based QoS. Policy-Based Network Management (PBNM) is one approach that could be employed to address this challenge. Hence, a policy-based framework for end-to-end QoS management in converged networks, CNQF (Converged Networks QoS Management Framework) has been proposed within our project. In this paper, the CNQF architecture, a Java implementation of its prototype and experimental validation of key elements are discussed. We then present a fuzzy-based CNQF resource management approach and study the performance of our implementation with real traffic flows on an experimental testbed. The results demonstrate the efficacy of our resource-adaptive approach for practical PBNM systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi4030646","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,5]],"date-time":"2012-07-05T03:52:03Z","timestamp":1341460323000},"page":"646-671","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Adaptive Measurement-Based Policy-Driven QoS Management with Fuzzy-Rule-based Resource Allocation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Suleiman Y.","family":"Yerima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Secure Information Technologies, Queen\u2019s University, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT3 9DT, UK"}]},{"given":"Gerard P.","family":"Parr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing and Information Engineering, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, BT52 1SA, UK"}]},{"given":"Sally I.","family":"McClean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing and Information Engineering, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, BT52 1SA, UK"}]},{"given":"Philip J.","family":"Morrow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computing and Information Engineering, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, BT52 1SA, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"389","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adhoc.2003.09.013","article-title":"Design and demonstration of policy-based management in a multi-hop ad hoc network","volume":"3","author":"Phanse","year":"2005","journal-title":"AD HOC Netw."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Oziany, V.G., Good, R., Carrilho, N., and Ventura, N.
