In recent years, the operation and management of networks and systems have gone through significant advances, driven by substantial developments regarding methods and techniques (e.g., network programmability, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence-enabled systems) and increasingly complex network and service environments. Given such profound changes, it is essential to step back from time to time, revisit the area, and ponder about the future. What are the new management requirements to be met? What are the novel challenges that the research community should focus on in the short and mid-term future? How can the latest enabling technologies help in shaping innovative management solutions? To address these questions, we have invited recognized researchers on the field to share their visions. This Special Issue on the “Future of Network and Service Operations and Management: Trends, Developments, and Directions” includes nine papers covering different application contexts, as well as various management paradigms, methods, and technologies. Starting with “Network Management 2030: Operations and Control of Network 2030 Services”, Clemm et al. describe emerging ultra-highprecision services (e.g., tactile Internet, holographic-type communications, and tele-driving) and discuss management challenges, solution approaches and research opportunities for the next 10 years towards the assurance of these applications. In “FlexNGIA: A Flexible Internet Architecture for the Next-Generation Tactile Internet”, Zhani et al. advocate that the traditional network architecture and protocols cannot cater to the stringent requirements imposed by next-generation applications. The authors then propose a novel network architecture adapted to the tactile Internet called FlexNGIA, which stands for a Flexible Next-Generation Internet Architecture. Along the same lines, in “Immersive Interconnected Virtual and Augmented Reality: A 5G and IoT Perspective”, Vega et al. discuss the challenges to enable a future AR/VR end-to-end architecture that combines 5G Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and tactile IoT technology.
