The project develops and prototypes architecture and solutions for realising a vision on Internet evolution based on integration of cognition and autonomics in self-managed networks demonstrated in numerous and diverse use-cases developed. The topics presented in this paper show theoretical foundation for building and understanding cognition and self-management and resulting practical realisation and incremental development of them. These include principles of self-managed architecture, path to development of cognition in self-managed networks and logical architecture for inclusion of those concepts. Their resolving and definition demonstrate the practical side of applying diverse available work on the topics and provide a focus for their understanding and development.en004conference paper
