Definition of Service Intent in Autonomic Networks

While ANIMA Intent enables goal-oriented control within an Autonomic Domain, emerging services (e.g., AI inference) require a common, interoperable representation for expressing service-level objectives and constraints that span network, compute, and storage resources, rather than connection-centric descriptions. This document defines Service Intent for Autonomic Networks by specifying a structured semantic model and a concise format with identification, scope, versioning, and lifecycle semantics.
