TR291G Preference of Intent Handling Outcomes – Intent Extension Model v3.6.0

This intent extension model allows an intent handler to generate intent reports representing the outcomes of solution alternatives. Instead of sending the solution details to the intent owner, the intent handler would predict the potential effects of the evaluated solutions on the intent requirements and provide these report to the intent owner for evaluation. This means the intent owner is approached on the level of requirement fulfillment outcomes. The level of information provided is intent report content, which the intent owner can understand after using equivalent content in the intent expression. For example, if the intent owner uses a latency KPI to provide a requirement in the intent, it would be able to evaluate its preference regarding achieved values for this KPI. This preference might, for example, be rooted in business value or cost considerations.
